For the first time in over 20 years, I did not attend the NBCU and FOX upfronts yesterday. Based on Deadline Hollywood’s synopses though, it sounds like it was pretty much par for the course. I suppose that is remarkable from a certain perspective, considering how much TV viewing has changed. What did catch my eye was Roku’s deal for Sunday MLB games. Yet more live sports shifting to steaming, which has been great for the leagues—they get to diversify their video partners and make more money. Not so great for the traditional broadcast partners. MLB is a bit tricky because national games tend not to drive a ton of interest; it’s a very local sport after all. It does make me wonder if a Roku might not carry localized feeds at some point in the future. 🤔 With regional sports cable networks going the way of the dodo, there is opportunity there (look no further than Amazon’s investment in Diamond Sports). https://lnkd.in/ej5eCi_Y

"During a webinar sales pitch for its low latency NFL streaming video product, data distributor Genius Sports included a few stats from its first weekend sure to get viewers’ attention. Users watching "Thursday Night Football" on the Fanatics Sportsbook app during the first two weeks of the NFL season placed twice as many bets as those who weren’t watching the game on the app, with 54% placing in-play bets. In-app viewership increased 40% from Week 1 to Week 2, with 46% of Week 1 users returning." This in-game betting trend is one of the reasons why our program, In-Game Live, is so successful - helping bettors who enjoy betting while the games are on-going vs only placing bets before kickoff. It remains the best second-screen experience for our viewers to find value within our partner sportsbooks.

🏈 Next-gen NFL fans are built different - and their gameday playbooks are different, too. The majority of these fans started their fantasy football seasons last weekend, and they’re much more likely to prefer RedZone to a primetime game. YouGov’s latest report dives into everything you need to know about next-gen NFL fans and how to engage them. Grab your copy: 👉 https://okt.to/ZEJyeN #YouGov #YouGovSport #NFL #SportsFans

It turns out that NFL fans are loyal to more than just their favorite team - they’re also loyal to their SVOD services. 🏈 When Peacock had exclusive rights to an NFL playoff game this January, the platform was the subject of fan anger and journalistic speculation about massive churn. Two months later, however, Antenna has reported that over 70% of new subscribers have stuck with the service. Great news for Peacock (and their advertisers), but also not surprising. Our Subscape data reveals that NFL fans, along with fans of the MLB, NBA, Olympics, and college football, are more loyal subscribers than fans of other sports, who tend to abandon services more quickly.
