It\u2019s something which has continued to evolve week-to-week during the suspension of the ATP Tour \u2013 which restarted with the Western &amp; Southern Open in New York (normally in Cincinnati) &#8211; with a continued focus on exploiting clips from the vast ATP Tour archive. The prolonged hiatus of live tennis meant compilations, countdowns or looking back to the same week in 2019 became the most important content strands for watch times and meaningful fan engagement. Popularity grew with fans during the week the tournament was supposed to be taking place and crossposting with other pages in our network on Facebook has helped to further increase reach and drive engagement, with in-stream ads providing a welcome, new source of revenue.<\/p>\n<p>We took the opportunity to regularly experiment and a focus was placed on both tournaments which were not taking place and players, by resurfacing big moments or unseen footage. Different narratives were used on social-first live stream broadcasts of videos using Grabyo Producer, which also gave us the opportunity to poll fans in-stream to choose what they wanted to see next. As practically every other sports rights holder or broadcaster was in the same position with no live events for months, we also used CrowdTangle and Tubular to see what was working on other channels and tweaked the strategy with our content agency LiveWire Sport.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the benefits of moving more towards longer-form content?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2018Longer-form\u2019 for Tennis TV subscribers means sitting down to watch a 5-hour classic from the 2006 Rome Masters between Rafa and Roger while on Facebook or IGTV longer form content for us is anything three minutes or longer. If we can combine the right mix of getting fans into the action as soon as possible and provide the right combination of match action we have seen that they stick around to watch these and our other videos for longer. Our average watch time increases, the popularity of the video increases and if it\u2019s over three minutes in length there\u2019s a revenue upside.<\/p>\n<p>We have analysed and then optimised our daily round-up videos, published during tournament weeks, so that fans now watch for longer. We now get into the action quick, and provide quicker transitions, wipes or graphics than we would on an edit for TV broadcast. It\u2019s a challenge to get a lot of action into a six or seven minute video when there might be 20 or 25 matches from an early round of an ATP Masters 1000 tournament but Facebook Analytics and collating fan comments using Conversocial helps us shape the content output.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How have audiences and other key stakeholders like players, tournaments and broadcast partners reacted?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The reaction has been excellent. Players have been hands-on with their channels and have been accepting crosspost requests from us to post videos to their fans, while tournaments have embraced crossposting ensuring that content is distributed to the widest possible audience. Raw, unbranded edits in square or 9:16 formats are also created for our broadcast partners and made available for download via our Media Portal platform. During the suspension, downloads by broadcast partners surged and complemented other traditional, TV programming being produced by ATP Media\u2019s in-house Content Services team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you see as the next steps in your partnership with Facebook?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now that ATP tennis has returned and a provisional calendar is in place for the remainder of 2020 it\u2019s all about building on the success of the last few months and applying the learnings to the in-tournament content strategy, where possible. We will continue to experiment with different, enhanced social-first production techniques, in-stream ads and live streaming, where this is possible, to primarily raise awareness of the tournaments and players taking part to drive tune-in.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>RIGHTS WATCH<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Prime Video snares international rugby rights<\/strong><br \/>\nAmazon Prime Video will broadcast live coverage of November\u2019s Autumn Nations Cup, the eight-team international rugby union tournament formed at short notice by the Six Nations to replace the traditional autumn internationals. Channel 4 has also agreed a deal with Amazon to broadcast three of the games, Ireland\u2019s clashes with Wales, England and Georgia, live in the UK, as well as free-to-air highlights. Georgia and Fiji will join England, Ireland, France, Wales, Scotland and Italy in the tournament. It is Amazon\u2019s first foray into live rugby as Prime Video builds out a UK sports portfolio which also includes live Premier League football and year-round tennis from the ATP and WTA tours.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brown and Negron launch Atalanta Media<\/strong><br \/>\nFormer Sky and FuboTV executive Hannah Brown has founded women\u2019s football company Atalanta Media, alongside former professional player and sports marketer Esmerelda Negron. Funding for the project is being provided by Miami-based investment firm 777 partners. The company launched last weekend by brokering the deal for NBC Sports to broadcast England\u2019s Women\u2019s Super League in the US. DAZN will broadcast WSL games this season in Germany and Italy, while Atalanta Media has also launched the Ata Football brand, a digital platform for matches, highlights and behind-the-scenes content.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>CONTENT\/PRODUCTION<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Listen up: new podcasts launch<\/strong><br \/>\nTwo new and noteworthy podcasts joining the firmament: Former World-Anti Doping Agency communications chief Ben Nichols has launched a new show, Athletes: The Other Side, which examines professional athletes\u2019 lives outside sport.

Meanwhile, the first weekend of action in the 2020\/21 season played out with no official coverage in China following the Premier League\u2019s decision to terminate its agreement with PPTV.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading this edition of the Broadcast Disruptors Bulletin.
