Veteran sportscaster Jamie Council announces the launch of Intangible Media, marking her transition to independent media. Aiming to disrupt the industry, Council combines her passion for local storytelling with national coverage, empowering women in sports media.
-- Breaking New Ground in Sports Media
Jamie Council, an experienced sportscaster and producer, has officially launched her independent sports media company, Intangible Media. This move marks a pivotal moment in her career, signaling a shift away from traditional broadcast roles to a more flexible, personalized approach. Having worked with major networks such as NBC, ABC, and CBS affiliates, Jamie has made the bold decision to build her own platform, creating space for fresh, authentic sports coverage that focuses on local storytelling while extending its reach to national sports.
For Council, the decision to go independent in 2022 was driven by her desire for equal opportunities and a more dynamic approach to sports media. "I just want the same opportunity to lose," she shares, underlining her commitment to fighting for the same chances male counterparts receive in the industry.
Embracing Authenticity and Local Stories
Council’s approach to sports broadcasting is grounded in authenticity and a commitment to serving local communities. "It’s not about what I’m doing but how I feel about what I’m doing," she says, reflecting on her dedication to presenting sports stories that resonate with viewers on a personal level. As host of The Sports Council on 1340 ESPN and a play-by-play announcer for NCAA Division 1 games on ESPN+, Jamie has built a reputation for delivering insightful commentary and in-depth coverage across a wide range of sports.
Her focus on local sports is a core principle of her work. In a world where global sports coverage dominates the media landscape, Jamie remains steadfast in her mission to bridge the gap between local and national sports, ensuring that the voices of smaller communities are heard and celebrated.
A Female Leader in a Male-Dominated Industry
Council’s journey in sports media has not been without its challenges. As a woman in a male-dominated field, she faced barriers that limited her opportunities in traditional media roles. However, rather than being discouraged, Jamie used her experiences as fuel to propel herself forward. "Being hard yet forgiving of yourself is just part of the fun and torture of growth," she reflects, acknowledging the resilience it took to overcome these obstacles.
Her decision to leave behind the security of established networks in favor of freelance sports media work is a testament to her independence and determination to create a space for women in the industry. "This business is my final push to use my God-given talents the way they were intended," Council states, emphasizing her drive to work on her own terms and challenge the status quo.
Changing the Sports Media Landscape
With a decade of experience in sports journalism, Council is committed to reshaping how sports stories are told. By going independent, she has positioned herself as a leader in a new wave of sports media professionals who reject conventional career paths in favor of more flexible, entrepreneurial approaches.
"I am so thankful for the support in many forms that has been there along the way," she shares, recognizing the importance of the people who have supported her career. For Council, it’s not just about the job; it’s about the impact she can have on her community and the broader sports world.
As an industry disruptor, Jamie’s story offers hope and inspiration to those seeking to create their own path in the sports media field. She encourages other women to challenge industry norms, push past adversity, and forge their own unique careers in a competitive, ever-evolving industry.
