Monday Metrics: With a reported 27 million viewers tuning into NBC Sunday Night Football for the New York Jets-Kansas City Chiefs matchup attended by #TaylorSwift including a 53% increase in viewership by #GenZ teen girls ages 12 to 17 according to Nielsen compared to the three previous Sunday Night Football games as reported by The Wall Street Journal, I was curious how many of my more than 75 Gen Z college students who I collaborate with each Monday first in a #publicrelations course followed by an integrated #marketing course tuned into NBC to watch the game. Two (2) students said they tuned into the NBC telecast out of more than 75, while the majority turned to their preferred plaforms - Gen Z's "big three" - TikTok, Instagram and YouTube - to consume on and off the field highlights. Interestingly, three (3) students out of 75+ tuned into Disney+ and ESPN+ earlier in the day to watch some of the "Toy Story Funday Football" telecast. As television networks and cable networks attempt to engage Gen Z and #GenAlpha viewers with what used to be must-see TV programming, they need to recognize that the behavior of sitting down in front of a television to watch sports and entertainment as a Gen Xer like me was raised on doing is not something Gen Z and Gen Alpha routinely do and that behavior will not be changing anytime soon. https://lnkd.in/eRkVgSGV

Is Disney stock dead money? I think so. Bob Iger extending his time as CEO is not a vote of confidence, but evidence of a lost company. In my opinion, DIS which owns ABC, ESPN, & HULU, is a Leftist, Democrat, political persuasion tool masquerading as an entertainment company. When DIS fought against Florida's House Bill 1557 (Parental Rights in Education) they aligned with those who feel its ok to teach sexuality to elementary school kids. When ABC deceptively edited and omitted Jan 6 video of Trump saying "...peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard..." they were propagating a false narrative. When ESPN validated radical voices instead of focusing on sports, they revealed their position. EPSN & HULU are politicized. Disney is a tool of the Left and their actions are proof enough. I sold my stock and cancelled HULU. #stocks #stockmarket #disney #hulu #espn #abcnews #democrats #politics #vote #elections #america #leadership #ceo #boardofdirectors #corporate #corporations #business #money #finances #management #media #productioncompany #news #deception #corruption #ethics #societyandculture #family #entertainment #investments #investing #fortune500 #company #companyculture #florida #desantis #republicans #trump https://lnkd.in/gHsqyXiH

People who talk about the NBA are about to get paid a lot of money. Every company that shows NBA games employs announcing teams to cover the games themselves, as well as a studio crew to chatter before, during and after the contests. Two of the companies expected to get broadcasting rights, Comcast Corp. and Amazon.com Inc., don’t air the NBA right now. They’ll both need fresh faces for their studio show and in-game commentary. Walt Disney Co.’s ESPN already has all of these pieces, but its studio show is the subject of frequent criticism and revision. One of ESPN’s primary in-game analysts, JJ Redick, is a contender to become the next coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. A look at how the NBA’s $76 billion rights deal will fuel the market for basketball talent. https://lnkd.in/g8Bw-CW4

Imagine a single event that captivates over 100 million viewers, where the cost of a 30-second ad could fund a blockbuster movie, and tickets are as coveted as a golden ticket from Willy Wonka 🏈 Welcome to the National Football League (NFL) Super Bowl - a spectacle where legends are made, fortunes are spent, and records are shattered. From jaw-dropping halftime shows to astronomical ad spends, this annual phenomenon transcends sports to redefine entertainment, economy, and global culture in the United States 🇺🇸🚀 1. Viewership Marvel: Super Bowl LVII shattered records with 115.1 million viewers, maintaining its reign as the most-watched U.S. television event. A testament to its unwavering appeal, with over 100 million tuning in annually for the past decade! 📺 2. Halftime Legacy: Iconic performances from legends like Michael Jackson, Coldplay, Eminen, Rihanna to Beyoncé have elevated the halftime show to a cultural spectacle, drawing even non-football fans 🤯 3. Economic Impact: Skyrocketing ticket prices reflect the Super Bowl's massive economic footprint. From the $350 seats in 1996 to the staggering range of $6,000-$27,500 in recent years, culminating in an average secondary market price of $9,365 for Super Bowl 2024. 💸 4.

Monday morning media quarterback: Why Brooklyn Beckham's father-in-law (Nicola Peltz's dad) is THE DRAMA KING behind Epic + Disney (as well as the recent Disney+Fox+WB streaming sports deal and the Taylor Swift movie deal). The backstory: 1. Disney's 🐭 stock is down 📉 almost 100% since its high in 2021. 2. Key reason: decline or losses in key businesses: - Disney+ (still not profitable) 🖥 - Theatrical releases (e.g., poorly received Marvel movies) 📽 - Linear TV (e.g., ABC, ESPN) 📺 - Parks & resorts (negative reaction to higher prices, certain experiences) 🏰 3. Activist investors Nelson Peltz' Trian Partners and Blackwells launched a proxy fight to take over the board and management of the company. 4. The Disney shareholder meeting is April 3, 2024. In summary, Disney is suffering in a post-pandemic cord-cutting consumer environment. Even live sports, once considered immune, is now up for grabs. For example, ESPN has lost significant viewership (100M to 70M in the last decade). We also see it in the sports gaming research we do... especially with younger sports fans. ESPN is no longer the major source of sports news– they're more likely to catch highlights on YouTube or follow influencers or athletes on social media. But those eyeballs are still valuable... Hence, the recent sports streaming deals from Netflix, AppleTV, and the aforementioned Disney+Fox+WB one. As I've mentioned before, it all comes down to growing and monetizing audiences. Or shall we say, "Look what you made me do." #disney #espn #sportsentertainment #videogames #videogameindustry https://lnkd.in/gjb7ZJH3
