THE BIG PICTURE<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the Broadcast Disruptors Bulletin, your fortnightly briefing on how sport is packaged, produced and consumed. Good to have you with us once again.<\/p>\n

Please do keep on sending your news and views to david.cushnan@leadersinsport.com<\/a> and james.emmett@leadersinsport.com<\/a>; we love hearing from you. And do get in touch if you\u2019d like to be considered for one of the last spots at next week\u2019s Broadcast Disruptors think tank, which we\u2019re hosting in New York on Thursday 5th. Look forward to seeing some of you there.<\/p>\n

It was Tyson Fury\u2019s weekend, as the Briton won the WBC Heavyweight title by defeating Deontay Wilder at Las Vegas\u2019 MGM Grand Garden Arena, but it was also a noteworthy occasion for Fox and ESPN, who combined for a joint pay-per-view broadcast in the US. The collaboration was necessary as a result of ESPN\u2019s longstanding deal with Fury\u2019s promoter Top Rank and Fox\u2019s relationship with Wilder\u2019s PBC promotional organisation, and key to making the much-anticipated fight happen.<\/p>\n

A combined ESPN and Fox on-screen team combined for the broadcast, although production was handled by ESPN \u2013 its largest ever boxing production, with 38 cameras capturing every jab, body shot and throw of the towel.<\/p>\n

It is a partnership that may well be reprised should, as seems to be the case, Wilder take up his option on a third fight between the pair. And similar collaborations may well be required should Fury \u2013 or indeed Wilder \u2013 ultimately face Anthony Joshua, the current holder of the other four world heavyweight belts, although they have the potential to be even more challenging. Joshua\u2019s promoter Matchroom Sport has a major partnership with DAZN in the US. As a subscription service it has moved away from the pay-per-view model that has dominated boxing\u2019s biggest match-ups over the past couple of decades, likely making a joint offering with ESPN or Fox more problematic.<\/p>\n

In the UK, a similar collaboration might be required between Sky, which has enjoyed a long-term relationship with Matchroom, and BT Sport, which has broadcast recent Fury fights thanks to its arrangement with Frank Warren\u2019s Queensberry Promotions. And to throw in another possibility, if the fights take too long to be made, Sky\u2019s current Matchroom contract is up at the end of 2021; in the medium-term, boxing could be one way for DAZN to claw its way into the crowded UK Sports broadcast market – its eight-year deal with DAZN in the US, signed in 2018, is reportedly worth US$1 billion in total, and was and remains a statement of true intent.<\/p>\n

The picture is complicated but in a golden period for heavyweight boxing, it would be a huge let-down for the sport if broadcast politics and contractual tangles were to get in the way of the next round of mega-fights. Fox and ESPN have shown the way; it\u2019s time for common sense to prevail.<\/p>\n

The NUMBERS<\/strong><\/p>\n

A new report from publisher video platform Connatix has revealed that 60 per cent of the US Gen Z population are willing to watch a video advert before consuming a video online. However, underlining the confusing and complex nature of Gen Z consumption habits, Gen Zs are twice as likely as Millennials to watch an advert for 20 seconds prior to accessing a video. The same report, entitled \u2018Gen Z: the new voice in the editor\u2019s room\u2019 also reveals that 56% of Gen Z in the US watch over an hour a day of video online, compared to 40 per cent of Millennials and 31 per cent of Gen X. 57 per cent of Gen Z, meanwhile, say they turn their phone horizontally when watching a video that lasts for a minute or more.<\/p>\n

Production Notes<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

90% of all sports viewers are now using a second screen while they engage with live sports, one of several key findings from a comprehensive study, commissioned by Verizon Media and undertaken by Sapio Research, which forms the basis of the latest Leaders special report – \u2018Viewing shifts: How we watch sport\u2019. The report, available now to download for free<\/a>, presents the results of research conducted using a representative sample of over 5,000 people across the US, UK, France, Germany and the Netherlands, also reveals a number of key insights into viewer expectations of sports streaming services; expectations over value, content make-up, quality and more.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a taster of what you can expect, taken from the section dedicated to viewers\u2019 evolving relationship with the second screen.<\/p>\n

\u2018For those who are streaming sports on connected TVs, using a secondary screen to interact with friends or social media or access real-time data or statistics is almost ubiquitous. It has become an embedded behaviour, and broadcasters are still developing an understanding of how best to leverage it.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOne of our learnings has been that when you have interactivity as part of the product \u2013 whether that be polling or chatting or being part of a group and watching with friends \u2013 people watch for longer; we think four times longer,\u201d says Peter Hutton of \u00a0Facebook\u2019s findings around its sports streaming products. \u201cIf you feel part of the process, part of the game, you\u2019re not a passive consumer and that\u2019s the real opportunity for OTT\u201d<\/p>\n

But not all broadcasters share a similar view. \u201cWe experimented for many years with dual screen applications,\u201d says DAZN\u2019s John Skipper, speaking at the Leaders Sport Business Summit, of his time leading ESPN, \u201cand I\u2019ve never seen an instance where that was impactful. People tend to watch the game and do something else.\u201d<\/p>\n

For purveyors of streaming products, there is also a growing acceptance that mobile or tablet are not going to take the place of the primary screen for most sports viewers. \u201cThere\u2019s some friction when you have to figure out how to download an app, get it on your smart TV as easily as it is to get your remote out and click on channel 53,\u201d says Skipper. \u201cIt has problems and it is generational. I don\u2019t know how to turn my lights on and off in my apartment anymore. Almost two thirds of our viewing is on a big screen and people do not find it satisfactory if they can\u2019t do that. They like the convenience of the small screen if they happen to be somewhere but it\u2019s not the preferred screen.\u201d\u2019<\/p>\n

RIGHTS WATCH<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eurosport extends Grand Tour deals
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>Eurosport has doubled down on cycling, by securing the rights across Europe to both the Tour de France and La Vuelta until 2025. The Discovery-owned broadcaster\u2019s new Tour de France agreement with Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO) and Eurovision Sport is a two-year extension to its current contract. From 2021, Eurosport-owned Global Cycling Network will also broadcast every Grand Tour stage live through its app. The broadcaster has also obtained the rights to two key women\u2019s races, Li\u00e8ge-Bastogne-Li\u00e8ge and Fl\u00e8che Wallonne, from this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

DC United revises broadcast plans
\nDC United, the Major League Soccer team, has agreed a deal with Sinclair Broadcast Group (SBG) for local coverage this coming season. Sinclair\u2019s WJLA channel will broadcast all non-nationally televised games. The agreement follows October\u2019s termination of DC United\u2019s partnership with FloSports, following persistent issues with streaming reliability.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>

THE JOBS BOARD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bob swap at Disney
\n<\/span><\/span><\/strong>Wednesday\u2019s hugely surprising announcement that Bob Iger is stepping away from the CEO role at Disney with immediate effect sent shockwaves through the media and entertainment world. Iger will transition to Executive Chairman until the end of 2021, with Bob Chapek appointed in his place as CEO. Chapek has most recently served as Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products. One reading is that Iger, who as CEO oversaw the acquisitions of Pixar in 2006, Marvel in 2009, Lucasfilm in 2012 and the launches of ESPN+ and last year Disney+, has extricated himself from the corporate fug at Disney, by handing over all his reports to Chapek, whilst ensuring he maintains creative control. A future tilt at the US presidency has even been mooted. Within Disney, a question mark must now lie around the future of Kevin Mayer, the executive in charge of the company\u2019s recent move into the direct-to-consumer space and who had been widely tipped for the CEO job. Shortly before Iger\u2019s announcement, Mayer announced that Hulu\u2019s Chief Marketing Officer Kelly Campbell will be the streaming service\u2019s new CEO, replacing Randy Freer.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>
\nCohan hired by Nielsen
\n<\/span><\/span><\/strong>Nielsen has appointed Sean Cohan to be its new Chief Growth Officer and International President. Cohan previously spent 15 years at A+E Networks, including as President of International and Digital Media. In his new Nielsen role, he will oversee the measurement firm\u2019s Nielsen Sports and Gracenote businesses. Nielsen has also appointed Gracenote CEO Karthik Rao as Chief Operating Officer.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ruibal remerges at Horse & Country
\nSpecialist equestrian network Horse & Country TV has announced Claude Ruibal as its latest board member. Ruibal has worked at GoPro, Universal Sports Network and Google and was most recently Chairman of Infront-owned iX.co and Host Broadcast Services. Horse & Country has recently acquired US equestrian sports streaming service EQ Sports Net, as it builds out its live and original programming.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Heng hired by AFC
\nLong-time Total Sports Asia (TSA) executive Connie Heng has been named as the new Head of Media Rights at the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). Heng, who rose to Chief Media Officer during two decades at TSA will work closely with the DDMC Fortis agency, which holds the AFC\u2019s media rights until 2028.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

CONTENT\/PRODUCTION<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sony acquires Whisper stake
\n<\/span><\/span><\/strong>Sony Pictures Television has acquired a stake in Whisper, the production company formed by BT Sport broadcaster Jake Humphrey and former Formula One driver-turned-commentator David Coulthard. As a result, Channel 4\u2019s involvement with the company \u2013 Whisper was part of the broadcaster\u2019s Indie Growth Fund \u2013 will end. Whisper produces the BBC\u2019s coverage of the NFL, as well as Channel 4\u2019s F1 and Paralympics broadcasts, among a growing portfolio of content.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>
