Great NY Times article this morning on the dislocation roiling the local sports TV market associated with the Diamond Sports bankruptcy. Article highlights the inherent tradeoffs between optimizing reach and maximizing team rights payments, with a particular focus on the Arizona market. Advertising, particularly targeted advertising, will be an integral component of any new business model . For the leagues and individual teams, the implosion of the RSN market provides a unique opportunity to optimize fan reach relative to the legacy walled garden RSN model, while delivering a highly coveted audience to prolific advertisers. One of the key challenges for both the league and teams are creating a broader direct relationship with their fan base around their live game content that historically was largely managed by MVPD/VMPVD’’s. As with most market dislocations, opportunities arise to rethink business model economics and deliver compelling solutions to consumers for content that resonates deeply with them and often generational in nature. https://lnkd.in/ePjPyETM

Forever is a long time in any industry, and the US sports betting market is no exception. Despite the current duopoly, industry analyst David Katz raises a fair question about who will lead the next significant breakthrough. Remembering ESPN's rise to dominance in the sports network scene, it's worth asking: could ESPN Bet disrupt the status quo and become the leading sports betting company? The future holds exciting possibilities. #SportsBetting #Innovation #MarketDisruption https://lnkd.in/eTej2GEr

It's no secret that California and Texas are the outstanding crown jewels in the legal US sports betting landscape. However, researching the below analysis put North Carolina's place on the US sports betting map in perspective. North Carolina is not a small fish in a big pond. NC will be the sixth-largest state by population with legal sports betting. I expect the battle for market share will be fierce as a result. Twelve online licenses will be available. It will be interesting to see which operators enter the fray in the inevitable fight to be No. 3 behind FanDuel and DraftKings Inc. In the current climate, North Carolina will be critical for ESPN Bet to reach its lofty goals. #northcarolina #sportsbetting

Following the new strategies for local broadcasts in the aftermath of the cratering Regional Sports Network (RSN) model is fascinating. Last week, Monumental Sports & Entertainment, which owns several DC-area teams, launched its new D2C subscription service. Ted has an extremely smart plan for the service, and it could become a fundamental pillar of a Monumental public offering. We should also pay close attention to the #Phoenix / #Tempe market, where four local teams are taking an alternative approach to game distribution that could foretell the future of local sports broadcasts outside the Top 10 markets, or an early push toward the end of local blackouts. In the Sun Belt - the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury are televising all but nationally exclusive games over free TV in partnership with Gray Television – and are even giving away digital antennas so fans can watch. They’re also launching a streaming service (Suns Live) in partnership with Kiswe . The NHL’s Arizona Coyotes are moving to free over-the-air in partnership with Scripps Sports. Meanwhile, the Arizona Diamondbacks’ TV broadcasts were taken over by MLB and are accessible via cable or digital subscription. Interestingly, local blackouts were eliminated in a nod to the fans. As the industry quickly evolves into a consumer/fan-first model, these teams (and MLB) are betting that local broadcasts can be leveraged as a marketing platform to increase their customer base and brand affinity, to be then converted into multiple revenue streams via subscription services inside and outside of sports. Experimentation is a wise strategy in a media market like Phoenix/Tempe. The region is filled with transplanted sports fans, and establishing new bonds between the community and local teams is especially important. Ensuring that games are available at low cost, or even free across multiple platforms, is a great way to do this. Ultimately, all of this could evolve into a new universe of services from individual teams (think the New York Yankees and YES Network); multi-team/multi-sports bundles (think Monumental Sports Network) and perhaps even regional bundles or supergroups from the Northwest, Midwest, Southeast or Southwest. What’s learned from this great #Arizona experiment will heavily influence how it all shakes out. I’ll be watching closely. #sports #streaming #mediarights https://lnkd.in/eXJ35rhq
