Clearly, they\u2019ll look and feel a bit different this year \u2013 more details on that to follow &#8211; but the mission remains the same: to shine a light on the most innovative work and impressive individuals.

If I look at the last few months and what has happened, with no live rights available, you could argue that has triggered the appetite for more live rights once everything gets back. On the hand, we\u2019ve also seen how important it is to work together within the business with all stakeholders \u2013 not only platforms and broadcasters, but clubs and leagues and everyone together. What we\u2019ve seen from a broadcaster or platform perspective is a lot of the risk of losing live rights for a time end up with the platform. We strongly believe that going forward there needs to be a different model \u2013 a more risk-share model, and how that affects the level of rights is to be seen. I think we are on the verge of looking at a completely new and improved ecosystem \u2013 at least we think it\u2019s important that that happens.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where is the best opportunity to usher in this new kind of fairer ecosystem?<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen we look at the rights we currently have and the conversations we are having, we are moving slowly \u2013 especially when you look at soccer clubs and the way they\u2019re structured. When you look at our model and the way we want to work together in the markets we\u2019re active in, it\u2019s very much about partnerships and getting a new model into place. At Eleven, we\u2019re also platform agnostic which means we want to bring in the rights and live games in each market to as many people as possible \u2013 we want to tie in partners to that conversation and ask \u2018how can you help us?\u2019 to achieve that. That\u2019s something we are focusing on and pushing on, but we\u2019re not there yet and at this stage it\u2019s difficult to say what will move first.<\/p>\n<p>The full interview with Anouk Mertens is available now on the <a href=\"https:\/\/leadersinsport.com\/sport-business\/podcast-at-home-with-leaders-anouk-mertens\/\">Leaders Sport Business podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>RIGHTS WATCH<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>NBC takes on Fox\u2019s golf rights<\/strong><br \/>\nThe United States Golf Association has transferred the rights to the US Open and other key events from Fox to NBC with immediate effect, following Fox\u2019s decision to end its deal early. It is understood that with this year\u2019s US Open rescheduled for September, Fox was unable to commit to its regular coverage due to clashes with the NFL. NBC has now taken over the remainder of Fox\u2019s deal, which ran until 2026, to reinforce a golf portfolio which also includes the PGA Tour, Open Championship and Ryder Cup. Fox signed a 12-year deal, worth US$1.1 billion, in 2013 for the period from 2015 to 2027. Various media outlets have reported that NBC\u2019s deal is worth significantly less annually to the USGA.<\/p>\n<p><strong>F1 secures new broadcast deals <\/strong><br \/>\nSky Italia has signed a two-year extension to its contract with Formula One, covering the 2021 and 2022 seasons. The broadcaster will continue to run a dedicated Formula One channel in Italy, similar to that run by Sky in the UK. Four races per season in Italy are currently broadcaster free-to-air, on the TV8 channel. Sky\u2019s Formula One deals in the UK and Germany run until 2024. Formula One has struck new broadcast deals this week with ServusTV and ORF in Austria, and Match TV in Russia. It has also signed an agreement with M2A Media to \u2018acquire, process and distribute\u2019 live content to global broadcasters.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>CONTENT\/PRODUCTION<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Eleven links up with Mediapro<\/strong><br \/>\nEleven Sports has agreed a major strategic partnership with Spanish giant Mediapro, which will see the two organisations collaborate on a variety of projects. In the first instance, Mediapro, which is shortly launching its Telefoot channel in France, will produce Eleven\u2019s coverage of the Pro League in Belgium and set up an operation in the country. Eleven has also agreed a distribution deal for the Pro League with Orange Belgium. The telco will make the three new dedicated Pro League channels Eleven is planning available to its customers for the next five years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Whisper makes cricket play<\/strong><br \/>\nProduction company Whisper has confirmed three new cricket contracts. It has begun producing the BBC\u2019s new peak time highlights show, which began this week as England\u2019s Test Series with the West Indies got underway, and has agreed separate deals with the England and Wales Cricket Board for online highlights, and Spark Sport and TVNZ\u2019s coverage of New Zealand international cricket. Production will be led by Rob Williams, alongside a team including Mark Cole, Sarah Warnock, Anne Somerset and Chris Hurst. The new cricket contracts adds to a Whisper highlights portfolio that also includes Channel 4\u2019s coverage of Formula One, as well as W Series, Women\u2019s Super League, NFL and SailGP.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Deltatre signs deal with Sinclair RSNs<\/strong><br \/>\nDeltatre is to build and operate digital platforms for the US regional sports networks owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group. The multi-year agreement covers the 21 Fox networks acquired by Sinclair last year, which hold rights to over 40 major league teams and a total of around 74 million subscribers.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>THE JOBS BOARD<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Rushton replaces Denyer at DAZN<\/strong><br \/>\nA significant change at DAZN, where James Rushton has been named Acting CEO in place of Simon Denyer. Denyer, one of the founders of DAZN, has taken in a new role at parent company Access Industries to \u2018advise on new ventures in sports\u2019. Rushton has most recently served as DAZN Group\u2019s Chief Revenue Officer. The streaming service has also brought in Access Industries\u2019 Ed McCarthy to help deliver the group\u2019s strategy.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>DISTRIBUTION<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Trio launch River Media Partners<\/strong><br \/>\nFormer Premiership Rugby Commercial Director Dominic Hayes and former IMG executives Ben Nicholas and Nick Chesworth have teamed up to launched River Media Partners. Described as a \u2018sports media agency\u2019, the trio have agreed a deal with the Rugby Football Union to manage the media rights of the second-tier Greene King Championship and Women\u2019s Premier 15s tournaments. River Media Partners is also working with Rugby Europe on the development of its club and international competition structure. Broadcaster Mark Nicholas and InCrowd Sports founder Aiden Cooney have been appointed non-executive directors of the new venture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fubo strikes Disney deal<\/strong><br \/>\nUS streaming service FuboTV has signed a multi-year distribution agreement with Disney Media Networks, which will see Fubo subscribers gain access to ESPN\u2019s suit of channels. The deal is Fubo\u2019s first major piece of business since it was acquired earlier this year by FaceBank Group.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>MEASUREMENT<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Nielsen confirms job cuts<\/strong><br \/>\nNielsen has announced plans to reduce its workforce by around 3,500, equivalent to around 8% of its global employees. The ratings and measurement giant plans to reveal further details of what it calls a \u201cbroad-based optimisation plan\u201d during its next earnings call, although CEO David Kenny was quoted in a statement on Tuesday saying: \u201cWe have made the difficult decision to exit selected businesses and markets and permanently reduce our workforce\u201d.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading this edition of the Broadcast Disruptors Bulletin.
