About this episode
With Ligue 1 and Serie A failing to secure international rights deals, two of Europe’s ‘big five’ leagues are foregoing traditional broadcast and opting for streaming. StreamTime Sports co-hosts Nick Meacham and Chris Stone discuss whether or not an OTT platform is a viable option for sports leagues or if it's simply the last resort of a desperate business. There’s also an RSN update and a preview of some of the changing conversations set to take place at SportsPro Madrid.
Talking points:
- What market factors have prevented Ligue 1 and Serie A from finding a traditional broadcast deal?
- What are the pros and cons of going direct to consumer?
- Does Diamond Sports Group's renewed partnerships with the NBA and NHL signal hope for RSNs?
- How has sports media changed over the last ten years?
- What innovation will have the biggest impact on sports in 2025?
