BTH: Griz Prez on the Evolving Game of Memphis B-Ball

The Memphis Grizzlies have fed our city's sports hunger for a little over 19 years. Franchise President Jason Wexler joins WKNO-TV's Behind the Headlines this week with Daily Memphian reporter Chris Herrington and host Eric Barnes. 

 

Wexler discusses how the NBA has changed over the years, including the ever-evolving roles that fans, the Internet and social media play. Wexler also talks about the economic and social impact that the Grizzlies have had on the City of Memphis and its citizens.  

 


 

In addition, Wexler expounds on the team's marketing strategies, including how the Grizzlies are attempting to rebuild and expand their fan base through, among other things, 2K video games and youth outreach programs.   

 

Ending the show, Wexler discusses how the Grizzlies benefit from the Memphis Tigers, as well as the FedExForum's special events and concerts.
