Following on from my previous post on market sizing, I wanted to dive deeper into one of the key revenue streams - media rights Live sport continues to be a significant value driver and a critical component of total broadcast consumption. Despite 2020’s fall, the global market has quickly recovered, growing to a value of $56 billion, as is forecast to grow at 3.9% CAGR However, the reality is more complex; the sports rights market is offering mixed prospects for rights holders. We are also seeing a further change in streaming services as they evolve and consolidate, driven by the need to acquire customers and generate a path to profitability.

I will say that as one whose adult kids have “both cut the cable” and for whom sports is the only reason I still have it (NFL ticket), this is a game changer. Networks have been struggling over the past few years to understand how we consume entertainment. As new streaming services experiment with bundling offers and one-off programs to test appetite (NFL playoff games on Peacock), legacy cable doubles down on special offers to bundle home electronic needs. With a move like this, streaming services may put the final nail in those cable box coffins just as cell phones created land line obsolescence. As boards consider strategic shifts are we thinking only incrementally? Do we believe existing infrastructure will prevail, or are we too committed to historical capital allocation patterns to see disruptive technologies that threaten our business model? Perhaps most importantly, do we have the right voices in the boardroom to challenge paradigms? Toby Eduardo Redshaw Richard Entrup Nora M.

As #CES gets rolling, sports-tech-media expert (and friend) Jeff Volk digs in to what's coming for the industry. Have a read of his OpEd for my newsletter, The Media Mix. Highlights: - Why sports rights terms might get shorter. - A new effort aimed at creating more "event" sports programming. - Where things might go with Fanatics. - What's next for live local sports, post-RSNs. - Who will solve the content discovery problem. - What the investors are chasing. Have a read and weigh in. #sportsmedia #streaming #localTV #Broadcast #NBA #Olympics #AI #womensports

Sports marketing offers a powerful platform to reach highly engaged audiences. Fans are passionate, loyal, and they associate their favorite teams and athletes with a sense of community and identity. This makes consumers more receptive to brands that are visible during sporting events. Interested in being a part of this wonderful time of year? Message me and we can come up with a plan to get you in front of that audience! #marketing #sportsaudience #advertise

Thanks Claire. This was a lot of fun. Here’s a link: https://lnkd.in/eUmq4u5u TLDR: Those of us who have spent our professional lives at the intersection of the #sports/#media/#entertainment, digital media, and technology marketplaces know that every new year truly begins at the innovation playground that is #CES, which kicks off this week in Las Vegas. I’ve attended CES since almost the 1900s – traveling with my cherished Palm Pilot, being awed by early GPS tools, and distributing the first generation of Google Chromecasts during the #WWE Network official announcement in 2014. This convergence of sports, media, and technology has long been my personal passion and remains the thread that has persevered throughout my career across Major League Baseball (MLB) Advanced Media, BAMTECH Media, The Walt Disney Company, (USTA) United States Tennis Association, Exos, Deltatre, and most recently, BridgeBuilder Ventures Group (BridgeBuilderVC.com). Back in 2011, when we launched the sports venture community, NYVC Sports, the only significant sports media transactions were eBay’s acquisitions of StubHub and GSI (the first iteration of Fanatics.) Think about how rapidly that has changed over the past decade. Our space moves swiftly on the curve of technological advancements. So, we must continually reassess the meaning of industry evolution, as well as the people who drive them (as this is, first and foremost, a relationship business). While predictions and trends for a full calendar year are fun to forecast, I have focused below on some key things to keep your keen eyes on over the next six months -- with the intent of revisiting for the second half of the year.
