Listen "Michael J. Whelan, Golf Channel Original"
Episode Synopsis
Michael J. Whelan is an Emmy-winning former television executive, a veteran of CBS and HBO Sports, who was a driving force in the creation of Golf Channel. He's also living proof that sometimes the story behind the executive bio is complicated. In this episode, you'll hear about his biggest events, including Wimbledon, the Olympics, and the Buster Douglas - Mike Tyson fight in Tokyo in 1990. Mike also describes the monumental task of getting Golf Channel on the air, a frantic effort in a very short time frame… he also goes deep into his own struggles with mental health, and more recently, his bouts with cancer. Raw and unfiltered, Mike Whelan takes us in a slightly different direction on this episode of Media Credentials.
