"Dizplai has a pivotal role in bringing our next-generation ‘sport as entertainment’ format to life." Chris Sice - Icons Series What a whirlwind few days! With the dust now settling on the #IconsofFootball, we've had some time to digest the scale of the project. We’re proud to have powered audience interaction for Icons Series Football this weekend, where we powered the future of live sports: ► Real-time fan Q&As with football legends ► Seamless viewer participation in dedicated broadcast segments ► Multi-platform streaming reaching 4M+ additional viewers across 6 creators ► Creator-led watchalongs bringing fresh perspectives Major props to the Icons team for not bundling social media rights with broadcast rights. This bold move allowed creators to present the event authentically to their audiences, connecting with fans beyond traditional broadcasting. A huge shoutout to Richard Mittell, Wayne, Mod, and the team at APAC Productions, the main man Chris Sice, and the rest of the incredible production, marketing, and content teams that came together to make this an event we won't soon forget. We'll share some of our favourite moments over the coming days🏌️⚽ Now we'll go sleep for a week 💤 #IconsSeries

It’s time we talk about Formula 1… They. Are. BRILLIANT! 👏 If you missed their 75th-anniversary show at the O2, you need to check it out. From a sport that told drivers to avoid socials, to this? It’s absurd. The show highlighted F1’s focus on fan engagement and high production value, helping fans get to know the stars of the show, showing off the new cars with some artist performances and celeb cameos mixed in for good measure. With F1’s average viewership pretty much doubling since 2018, and the creation of copycat content (we’re looking at you full swing), F1 has killed the content game and they aren't stopping any time soon. Would you like to see the PL try this for a kit reveal? Which sport will take on the audience experience challenge next? #Formula1 #FanEngagement #Content

With Emma Murphy & Joe Small heading to NY for SportsPro this week, we wanted to share Joe’s guide for surviving SportsPro or any other event you're heading to this year. 👀 For some BTS of Joe, wait until the end of the video - you won’t regret it. 🤣 #SportsProNY2025 #SportsPro #SportsBroadcasting

The Australian Open gave us Wii Sports IRL?! 🎾 What do you do if you don’t have the broadcast rights to the Australian Open? Create an animated version of course. In an interesting move, the Australian Open created an uncanny, Wii Sports-looking version of match play to sit alongside the traditional broadcast. The stream was great, featuring broadcast commentary and build-up, but that doesn’t mean it was perfect. If we had it our way… 🔹 We’d unlock untapped ad space to increase monetisation on their owned channel. 🔹 We’d bring in an AltCast of commentators to give it that casual, YouTube vibe. 🔹 We’d partner with a brand, like the NFL did with Nickelodeon, to capture the next-gen fanbase. How will real-time animation impact broadcasting rights over the coming years? #Broadcasting #Content #Monetisation

Content owners are only just catching on to what we’ve known for a while - viewers understand monetisation is a necessary evil, they just expect something in return. Kantar’s research proves this, with over 75% of households being open to ads whilst they’re streaming. What side are you on - higher prices or more ads? 🤔 #Streaming #Content #Media

We're coming for you Nicholas 👀 🏃♂️

The government is deciding whether houses that only watch streaming services should have to buy a TV licence… 😬 Whether you watch the BBC or not, many feel the rising prices of streaming is enough of a cost as it is. If this is implemented, expect to see A LOT more streaming services migrating their content to video-sharing sites like YouTube, creating a “freemium” service like Spotify. Could TV licenses change the future of streaming in the UK?

More people are watching YouTube than Netflix on their TVs in the U.S. With absolute classics like Mutiny on the Bounty being added 👀 and YouTube offering live TV in the U.S, audiences are being drawn to the red play button in increasing numbers. With more ways to engage, the opportunity to forge deeper relationships with creators and to influence the narrative of content, broadcast is fighting an uphill battle. Which platform is winning the attention battle in your home? #ContentOwners #ContentCreation #Streaming #Dizplai
