"The savviest sports media properties are in parallel forging deep, direct relationships with their fandoms to ensure that a DTC path can be explored to deliver premium live content when it suits the needs of both the business and the consumer. As such, many rights holders are creating owned-and-operated OTT destinations that enable teams, leagues, and federations to build premium experiences that leverage bespoke content and deep community elements catering to consumers’ demand for personalization and interactivity." We are already seeing the IPL teams do this in India, but the big opportunity is with other emerging sports leagues and federations to start owning their fan data. Great read and a lot of learnings on what could emerge in India as Gen A and others look at other sports beyond cricket!

As more streaming services move to replicate Netflix's streaming sports doc success, the streamer has yet to dive into live sports. The #sports media rights and the future of how we experience sports in the near future continues to evolve daily. Article by A.J.

In a fragmented streaming services world, three traditional Television houses offering a combined sports streaming service is a welcome move and it will be win-win for consumers and these companies. If cable TV and DTH are considered "aggregators", we need such thing in streaming space too. However, this new streaming service is not an "aggregator" thing but "bundling" and it may further evolve.

In a new op-ed, Nielsen's Matthew Devitt explains how streaming platforms are taking bigger steps to get in on the opportunity with live sports rights deals, even if it adds to fragmentation, as TV audiences continue to shift to streaming. #streaming #connectedtv #ctv

Are you ready to say goodbye to traditional TV and hello to the world of streaming live sports? The trend is gaining momentum, and for good reason. Recent data shows that live sports programming on streaming platforms has rapidly grown in popularity in the U.S., with the audience for sports on streaming increasing by millions in just a few short years. This shift is not only attracting younger viewers but also retaining subscribers that sign up for sporting events. Some experts predict that the future of sports will be a “reimagined pay-TV bundle,” similar to how Disney+ and ESPN+ are now being bundled with some cable packages.

Unless one chooses to remain more or less skeptical (or not) [🤔, particularly in terms of the rules of conduct], today's news may also appear as a fruitful example of drafting from yet another genuinely important point capable of influencing both sides of the Pond (in particular, when examined in a broader scheme (and/or context)).

All Fubo is asking for is getting a fair deal. We’ve been competing with the sports cartel with intertwined business interests where one business units pays another in underhanded way. Fubo doesn’t have UGC ad inventory or cloud credits to give out. Networks don’t own equity in the company. If given the same deal as cable operators like Comcast or Verizon, Fubo can thrive and out compete anyone in this space. Fubo is the only content distributor fully aligned with consumers and we are having to compete with significantly worse business deals. We’re having to enter the octogon with 20kg weight deficit, but still punching way above our weight. Remove the restrictions and we can beat everyone in this fight for consumers.
