Dan Patrick Adds ”Mo” to ”Big Show”

ESPN’s Dan
Patrick, along with longtime broadcasting industry entrepreneur Jimmy de
Castro, announced
that Patrick will join
new broadcasting venture, “The Content Factory.” Founded by de Castro, The
Content Factory is an exciting endeavor to revolutionize and customize how
broadcasting content will be distributed for both traditional and the multitude
of new media channels that exist today.

After 18
years of pioneering sports broadcasting with ESPN, Dan Patrick recently
announced that he will leave his current position at ESPN on August 18th
to pursue new challenges and expand his storied broadcasting career to new
endeavors.

“Dan isn’t
leaving radio— he’s leading radio to its next logical path, much the way the web,
mobile devices and 24/7 wireless connectivity has done for video,” said
industry veteran de Castro. “He will continue his innovative industry
leadership by taking his brand, the ‘big show,’ to broader audiences in the
innovative ways they receive their information – via radio, television,
internet, podcasts, infopods, mobile devices and beyond.”

Along with
other broadcast industry innovators, The Content Factory will assemble and
develop an “All Star” line-up of personalities to deliver, through state-of-the-art
technologies and media channels, the most consumer relevant and enjoyable
content available. In making the announcement de Castro and Patrick indicated
that additional news and updates will be released soon.
