Media Winners & Losers

MEDIA WINNER:
DailyWire+

The Daily Wire’s streaming service, DailyWire+, now has over 1 million subscribers according to co-CEO Jeremy Boreing — as the right-wing media platform is reportedly on track to bring in $200 million in revenue this year.

Axios’s Sara Fischer reported on the Daily Wire’s strong numbers and ambitious expansion plans on Thursday, noting, “In March, Daily Wire execs said the company was planning a significant push into kids entertainment in response to Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill, known as the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill.”

“It took us five years to get our first 100,000 active subscribers. But we doubled down, reached higher, pushed harder and, just two-and-a-half years later, we’ve 10Xed that number,” Boreing reportedly told a company-wide town hall on Thursday.

“To succeed in our effort to create a true news and entertainment alternative for the millions of Americans tired of the hegemony of the woke giants, we have to grow 10X, and then we have to grow 10X again,” he added.

The Daily Wire’s hosts, from Candace Owens to Matt Walsh, have stirred more than their fair share of controversy in recent months. Whether those high profile fights have contributed to or dampened growth, the million subscriber mark is a big one.

Axios adds that the company is projecting "nearly $200 million in revenue by the end of the year. Another undeniably big number.

MEDIA LOSER:
ESPN SportsCenter on Twitter

The Twitter account for ESPN's SportsCenter deleted a tweet Friday that featured an image with the faces of famous American-born non-soccer athletes superimposed on soccer players, resulting in a big backlash from sports figures and fans alike.

The 2022 FIFA World Cup is set to start Sunday with host country Qatar facing Ecuador, and ESPN thought it would be wise to play the “what if” game, photoshopping famous American athletes as soccer players with the caption, "Imagine these American stars suiting up in this year's World Cup."

ESPN’s made-up roster of 11 included MLB stars like Mike Trout, NFL players like Patrick Mahomes, NBA stars like LeBron James, and and NHL stars like Patrick Kane.

New York Post sports media columnist Andrew Marchand was one of a slew of Twitter users who piled on ESPN's "insulting" tweet, writing that “we actually have stars on our team” and ESPN should try "a picture of them.”

There were many reactions along those lines, pushing the topic to the top of trends.

"ESPN deleted the tweet imagining LeBron James and Mike Trout other athletes were on the US Soccer team. It would have been a fitting final tweet," wrote Marchand after it was disappeared, making an oblique reference to reports of Twitter's pending demise.

Deleting was the right move, but you have to wonder who thought for even a second it would be a good idea.
