The NBA has secured new long-term television contracts with major players in the media landscape, including Walt Disney, Comcast, and Amazon. This strategic move marks a significant shift as the league has opted to forgo Warner Bros. Discovery's longstanding broadcast rights. The implications of this decision are multifaceted, impacting not only the NBA's revenue streams but also the way fans consume basketball content. Analysts suggest that the partnerships with Disney, Comcast, and Amazon may enhance the league's reach and engagement through innovative broadcasting methods. Bloomberg's Randall Williams elaborated on these developments during a discussion with Caroline Hyde on "Bloomberg Technology," shedding light on the potential effects on both the NBA and its broadcasting partners. #NBA #TelevisionContracts #MediaRights #SportsBusiness #Broadcasting ---------------------- Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/g-vwiAEd

Instead of the usual weekend highlights, I've decided to showcase my announcing from a different angle. In the points below, I dive into the unseen aspects of sports play-by-play, where the real magic happens. By tracking elements like runs, ties, and lead changes, I work to elevate the viewer's experience. This short video (the clips are numbered below) gives you a peek into my approach 🎙️🏀 1️⃣✅ Spotting Ties and Leads: From the Reinhardt vs. KCU game this weekend - it was tied in the first minute, and I highlighted this as our first tie since the game's opening moments. 2️⃣✅ Creative Commentary: Moving beyond generic phrases like 'here's a long shot', I incorporate strategic insights like 'for the lead', and the potential point total, adding depth to each chance. 3️⃣✅ Tracking Key Players: Recognizing the top scorers like Reed is crucial. I focus on these players to bring an informed perspective. 4️⃣✅ Highlighting Unique Plays: I love showcasing special moments like backdoor passes, treating them as pivotal plays in the game. A couple of such highlights from the weekend are included here. #Sports #TV #Announcing #PlaybyPlay

🏈 Did you know that the Super Bowl was created as part of a merger agreement between the NFL and its then-rival league, the American Football League (AFL)? The first game, originally named the AFL-NFL World Championship Game, took place on January 15, 1967, and was later rebranded as Super Bowl I. Fast forward to today, and the Super Bowl has become a momentous event in American culture, with over 200 million viewers! As we gear up for the game this weekend, here is what people are most looking forward to. According to recent stats, 41% are pumped for the game itself, 34% are eagerly anticipating the halftime show and 25% can't wait for those iconic commercials.

What are the Educational, Health, or Economic benefits to the Players and their Families for his participation in any additional “NON-SCHOLARSHIP” private third-party postseason football games that pay the Universities and the Conferences for the use of their free labor to put on these highly profitable Bowl events. These additional 1-5 POSTSEASON games are also over the Players’ 12 game athletic scholarship agreement? The answer is ZERO! Our Proposal offers Major Benefits in all three Categories to the Players and their Families! The roughly 7,800 Bowl eligible Scholarship Football Players are owed Hundreds of Millions of dollars from this year’s Media contract that uses the Players’ Name, Image, and Likeness NIL without any equitable financial consideration to the Players or their Families! This lost Money could have a major impact on these Players lives, the lives of their current and future family members for generations? We do not support, or agree with the House vs NCAA Settlement or the current covert attempts to extend and expand this current Antitrust Cartel exploiting our young mostly minority FB &BB labor that the US Supreme Court and Federal District Court have recently struck down as illegal and implausible.

Whether you're an American football fan or not, you'd be hard-pressed not to have heard of the #superbowl this month. This year it was the most-watched telecast in US history. 123 million viewers watched the game across all networks. That's a lot of eyeballs. 👀 And a lot of spend 💰 on #superbowlads. Close to 60 brands spent 7 million dollars each on 30-second airtime. That's 420 million USD just in ad revenue (the GDP of some small island country somewhere in fact). The ads are a show inside the show and provide an opportunity (albeit expensive) for brands to make impact on viewers and, hopefully, on consumer behaviour and sentiment. They're a creative opportunity. But also a huge responsibility. They're #storytelling on a grand scale. Dara Treseder, Autodesk's chief marketing officer, commenting on the event, shared three principles for brands wanting to be in this space : 1️⃣ Be memorable 2️⃣ Be own-able (fans should remember your brand, not only your ad) 3️⃣ Be relevant (capture hearts and minds) You can do all this with good storytelling. #brandstrategy #storytelling #knowyouraudience https://lnkd.in/dnYsfPAd
