Mike McCarley is an American broadcasting executive and the president of Golf Channel, a post he assumed in February 2011 after more than a decade with NBC. He is a protégé of former NBC Sports & Olympics Chairman Dick Ebersol.〔Flint, Joe. (“NBC Sports Group restructures in wake of Comcast deal” ), “Los Angeles Times,” February 2, 2011〕 McCarley was named one of Sports Business Journal's "40 under 40" in 2009,〔(“2009 Forty Under 40: Mike McCarley” ), “Sports Business Journal,” March 23, 2009〕 2010,〔(“2010 Forty Under 40: Mike McCarley” ), “Sports Business Journal,” March 8, 2010〕 and 2013.〔(“Forty Under 40” ), “Sports Business Journal,” March 18, 2013〕 With his third placement among this elite class, McCarley earned recognition as a member of the “40 Under 40” Hall of Fame Class of 2013. In 2012, he was named Sports Network Executive of the Year by Cynopsis Sports.〔(“Sports Luminaries To Be Honored at Cynopsis Sports Media Awards in August” ), Cynopsis press release, July 16, 2012〕 ==Golf Channel== Golf Channel came under the umbrella of NBC Universal when its owner, Comcast, acquired control of NBCU on January 28, 2011.〔Lafayette, Jon. (“New Boss Tees Up Changes At Golf Channel” ), “Broadcasting & Cable,” February 4, 2011〕 On February 2, NBC Sports Group announced that McCarley would take the reins as Golf Channel president, along with several other leadership changes in their broadcasting and web-based assets. Ebersol combined these assets to increase viewership, and McCarley said his mandate was to incorporate more of the NBC "sports sensibility" into Golf Channel's programming.〔Paul, John. (“Golf on Television Gets Supersized” ), “The Wall Street Journal,” March 5, 2011〕 McCarley told ''Broadcasting & Cable,'' "There are resources available within the new, larger company that we'll deploy when it's appropriate and when it makes sense for the audience. We're never going to stray from the core of the mission, which is to serve the viewer, the golf fan." One example is he's added CNBC business reports to the network's Morning Drive show. In its first year as part of the NBC Sports Group, Golf Channel set several records: 2011 was the most-watched year in its 17-year history,〔(“Golf Channel Has Record Year” ), “PGATour.com,” January 4, 2012〕 ''Feherty'' premiered as its most-watched original series,〔Weisman, Jon. (“’Feherty’ Expands To Hourlong Episodes” ), “Variety,” January 25, 2012〕 and its coverage of the final round of the 2012 Pebble Beach National Pro-Am was the most-viewed round of any tournament in the network’s history.〔(“TV Ratings: Golf Channel Sets Record (Also, Red Wings and Mavs Hit Multi-Year Highs)” ), “Sports Media Watch,” February 15, 2012〕 The 23% increase in viewership of PGA Tour coverage in 2011 came despite Tiger Woods playing in just 10 events on Golf Channel, with no wins until the final tournament of the year.〔Gorman, Bill. (“2011 Is Most-Watched Year Ever For Golf Channel” ), “TV By The Numbers,” January 4, 2012〕 Continuing this trend in 2012, Golf Channel scored its most-watched year ever in the 18-year history of the network. This marked the second consecutive most-watched year after a record-breaking 2011. The continued surge in viewership since joining the NBC Sports Group early in 2011 retained Golf Channel’s status as the fastest-growing network on U.S. television (among networks serving 80 million or more homes throughout that span), according to data released by The Nielsen Company.〔(“Golf Channel Scores Most-Watched Year Ever” ), “TV By The Numbers,” January 3, 2013〕 Golf Channel carried the momentum into 2013 with its most-watched quarter ever in the year’s first three months.〔(“Golf Channel Continues Fast Start With Most-Watched Quarter Ever” ), “The Golf Channel,” April 3, 2013〕 In March 2012, Golf Channel launched programming for the first time in India and other markets across South Asia, bringing its international reach to 83 countries.〔Gorman, Bill. (“Cynopsis: Sports” ), “Cynopsis Media,” March 15, 2012〕 In addition to increased viewership, McCarley steered the continued growth of Golf Channel by extending the flagship “Morning Drive” program to seven days a week and expanding its digital platforms to include 24/7 live streaming via Golf Live Extra.〔(“Golf Channel's Morning Drive Expands To Seven Days And Unveils New Format, New Co-hosts, New Set” ), “Reuters,” January 24, 2013〕 After his first year with the network, PGA Tour Radio described McCarley as “at least in the top 10 in terms of most powerful in the game of golf.”〔Adams, Matt. (“Interviews – Mike McCarley” ), “Fairways Of Life,” February 8, 2012〕 Multichannel News named him one of the “Forty Under 40” in 2013〔("40 Under 40: 'MCN' Selects Young Execs Helping Their Companies Grow" ), "Synacor," April 23, 2013〕 and CableFAX named him one of its Top 100 power players for cable programming in 2012.〔("The 100" ), "CableFAX," December 2012〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mike McCarley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
