A longtime admirer of Musk, the NBCUniversal ad chief resigned from that role last week to take the reins at the rowdy blue bird. Yaccarino\u2019s remit has never been simply sport but just as in her old role she influenced key NBC Sports properties, from the Super Bowl to the Premier League, so the decisions she makes in her new one will help shape this industry. A whole mini-sector has grown up around Twitter and sport over the last decade &#8211; content creators, clip rights, in-house specialists at teams and leagues, not to mention research agencies monitoring and benchmarking performance. If Twitter fails, there\u2019s an awful lot of untangling to be done to contracts, partnerships, activations, strategies, engagement analysis and campaigns across the industry. Thus, it\u2019s well worth keeping tabs on how and what Yaccarino does over the coming months as she enters the aviary.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE BIG PICTURE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thanks for joining another edition of the Broadcast Disruptors Bulletin.

Francis showed us round the CBS Uefa Champions League studio at Stockley Park, in West London, where host Kate Abdo and regular cast members Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards have gelled into an amusing, engaging and credible team over the past few years, bringing big European nights to an American audience and myriad viral clips to social media. Francis, who oversees global production at IMG, says the tone and colour of the CBS shows has been in part inspired by TNT\u2019s studio coverage of the NBA in the United States.

Now it\u2019s also about the chemistry. My answer always was \u2018tell me what you see on screen now, and what are you going to add to, say, Sky Sports football\u2019. You\u2019re trying to create a flow and a chemistry where each person is bringing something different \u2013 Micah Richards is one of the standout new pundits\/analysts because he\u2019s got this wonderful gregarious nature about him, great energy. That sits polar opposite to Gary Neville, who\u2019s bringing something completely different \u2013 smash them together and it\u2019s really interesting. They\u2019ve got to bring something new.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Infantino\u2019s plea:<\/strong> Gianni Infantino\u2019s call for major broadcasters to step up and invest more in the rights to the upcoming Women\u2019s World Cup at the start of this month inevitably provoked a barrage of headlines. The Fifa President, described \u2018disappointing\u2019 offers from broadcasters in five key European markets \u2013 the UK, Spain, Italy, Germany and France \u2013 as a \u201cslap in the face\u201d of players, and threatened \u201cnot to broadcast\u201d the competition in those territories. It\u2019s an idle threat, of course, or more precisely a negotiating tactic, one made possible by the launch of Fifa+, the world governing body\u2019s own OTT platform. In theory at least, Fifa could broadcast the tournament into those markets via Fifa+ , although the reality is that it wants and needs eyeballs on games as much as revenue. The service is therefore useful leverage in continuing discussions about how much broadcasters are willing and able to pay for the rights (as a sidebar, BBC Sport presenter Gabby Logan appeared to <a href=\"https:\/\/info.sportsbusinessjournal.com\/e\/856843\/e-id1648663774-i-1000612368160\/372r7m\/1391769186?h=YAsNH4rPpte5SARpzBXjB-kSoVk1EUM2F8-ARduv9hE\">confirm to Times Radio<\/a> (at 28:45) last week without anyone actually noticing that the BBC and ITV have indeed now signed to share the rights in the UK).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sky&#8217;s the limit:<\/strong> Television, even satellite television, was a relatively simple game 32 years ago and if ever a reminder was needed of the growth and complexity of the media marketplace in the intervening period, then perhaps it came via two recent announcements from Sky. First, the broadcaster that brings you sport, news, entertainment, can build the TV you watch it on, and probably does your broadband and your phone too, has moved into the insurance game. It\u2019s launched what it calls an \u2018innovative smart home protection service\u2019 under the Sky Protect brand. \u201cAt Sky we have a heritage in entering new markets and shaking them up, and we\u2019re about to do the same with home insurance,\u201d Stephen van Rooyen, CEO of Sky UK &amp; Ireland, said in a punchy statement announcing the initiative. Then, just last week, in a partnership brokered by Yath Gangakumaran, Sky Sports\u2019 Commercial Director, it announced a partnership with Fanatics, which will see the launch of a new online shop and Sky Sports and Fanatics work together on licensed sports merchandise for over 900 sports organisations. For all the talk of one-stop shops elsewhere in the industry, Sky continues, quietly and effectively, to march into new sectors.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE NUMBERS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Using data from GWI, \u2018media universe cartographer\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/info.sportsbusinessjournal.com\/e\/856843\/hare-utm-medium-member-desktop\/372r7q\/1391769186?h=YAsNH4rPpte5SARpzBXjB-kSoVk1EUM2F8-ARduv9hE\">Evan Shapiro<\/a> has highlighted Europe\u2019s top streaming platforms by market. The graphic provides a stark reminder of the dominance of Netflix and YouTube across the continent, and the rise of Disney and Amazon more recently although Shapiro also notes the enduring appeal of more traditional broadcasters such as the BBC, Germany\u2019s ZDF and ARD and Sweden\u2019s SVT, all of whom made early decisions to build out streaming platforms.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ibb.co\/MsMTg5P\/numbers-bd.jpg\" alt=\"numbers-bd\" width=\"640\" height=\"357\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Source<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: GWI<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>PRODUCTION NOTES<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ibb.co\/Wtv1QyW\/richard-bayliss.jpg\" alt=\"richard-bayliss\" width=\"227\" height=\"223\" border=\"0\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the mixed zone with\u2026 <strong>Richard Bayliss, VP, Head of Football Content for Production at IMG<\/strong>, who joined the agency at the end of last year, following stints at the A-Leagues and Optus Sport in Australia<\/p>\n<p><strong>Six months into the role, how have you approached immersing yourself in the IMG football portfolio?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s been exciting, moving to the football production epicentre. It\u2019s been about asking a lot of questions \u2013 having worked with IMG previously as a client in Australia, I was pretty well aware of the global strength of the brand and the business. Since arriving it\u2019s been about understanding the breadth of the organisation, which, both in a football and a production sense, is incredibly strong. Even within the first few months there have been some real highlights, including us producing the coverage of Apple\u2019s MLS Season Pass \u2013 which has been fantastic and there\u2019s plenty more to come in that space, too. And closer to home being part of the first two Euros qualifiers for England, for Channel 4, has been extremely powerful editorially, and the audience has been really strong. At closer quarters, IMG is even more impressive than I\u2019d realised.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s surprised you?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe footprint of IMG was maybe something I didn\u2019t understand fully, despite working with IMG from a distance. I\u2019m pleasantly surprised in that sense about the possibilities \u2013 everything we do from a production standpoint, but also across digital, original content, sales, distribution, technology and data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you reflect on the first few weeks of the Apple-MLS relationship?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe reaction to the deal initially, and our part of it, was centered around the global nature of it, which is where the opportunity lies. So far, it\u2019s something to be proud of but it\u2019s also a project where we want to continue to improve what it is we\u2019re offering the audience. One of the great successes so far has been MLS 360, our live goals show every week, which I think hits the right tone for our audience every Saturday night in the US but also opens up the league to that global audience, which is always something we\u2019re thinking about. We\u2019ll continue to experiment with that show where we can, and think about how we can provide more value to the audience, whether they\u2019re watching on a first or second screen, which is a key consideration. This is not just traditional matchday viewing for one or two timezones, this is a global project and that\u2019s why it\u2019s so exciting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What kind of evolutions and tweaks are you making?<\/strong><br \/>\nVisually, what we\u2019re offering is already different to what the traditional MLS audience may have seen previously but we want to keep pushing in that direction, whether it\u2019s on-screen graphics, editorial feature material \u2013 what we\u2019d really like to reflect, on the latter especially, is the incredible power of the fanbase in the US. When you think about the fact the next men\u2019s World Cup will be Stateside in 2026, it\u2019s a great time to tell the stories of the unique fanbases so we want to do more of that. The cultural momentum and movement behind MLS is unique globally, let alone in the States \u2013 that\u2019s an area we want to keep pushing into where we can.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When you\u2019re taking even small decisions about tweaks to coverage, are you completely data-driven, or is there still a little bit of gut feel involved?<\/strong><br \/>\nI think everything has to be data driven, not entirely \u2013 but you have to listen to your audience always. It\u2019s always consumer first. There\u2019s always an aspect of experience that comes into these decisions as well and that\u2019s where a company like IMG is so powerful, because its experience in Premier League Productions for example over a long period of time will undoubtedly provide know-how and experience for MLS. Similarly what IMG does with CBS will drive creative decision making for Channel 4, or the EFL. You see the vast experience IMG has across football production, and it\u2019s powered by fresh, new ideas. It makes little tweaks to coverage of MLS or other properties more informed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019re working with lots of different broadcasters\/rights holders \u2013 in practice how different is a CBS, for example, from a Channel 4?<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you start with the unique characteristics of an audience, and the realisation that every market is different and will consume football in its own way, it\u2019s always important to be tailored to those consumers, in terms of editorial style, digital focus etc. Football audiences aren\u2019t the same \u2013 and having grown up as a football obsessive in Australia, watching at weird and wacky times, on different devices and in different ways, I can assure you that every market is different, even if sometimes in subtle ways. Having said that it\u2019s incredibly important to learn and take ideas from one to the next \u2013 so, for example, learning from CBS and the Uefa Champions League coverage, particularly in terms of tone and style, will undoubtedly bring ideas to what we do on other projects<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s top of your priority list over the next six months?<\/strong><br \/>\nHelping to bring the pieces together within IMG to create even more value for partners \u2013 I think we can provide a lot more and I think we\u2019re well-placed to do so, making sure the audience is always at the heart of those opportunities is really important. We\u2019ve also got some very exciting projects on the horizon, which I can\u2019t say anything about other than keep your eyes peeled.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Thanks for reading this edition of the Broadcast Disruptors Bulletin.
