I think every sports fan can agree that the amount services and apps needed to watch one sport has reach an extreme point of absurdity. On top of that, you can't even pay to watch all of the games for the teams you are a fan of with those services. Let the fans pick and pay for the games they want to actually watch for the teams they actual like all from ONE app instead of having us play this game of "find the needle in the haystack of services" each year. #FreeCast #NextGenStreaming #StreamingWars #NBA #NFL #NHL #MLB #MLS #NoMoreAppDiving

Players to Start Learning: Phenom MDC (Class of 2028) Read: https://lnkd.in/ensArHwY

Remote production is a hot topic in the broadcast world right now! So hot infact, it's a topic at Innovative Insights, our upcoming Showcase, Expo and Industry Panel Session event on the 20th June. You should be there! https://lnkd.in/g2QvWEbb But back to the topic at hand...Remote production. If we are needing to have a system sit idle and be on standby onsite, not because of equipment failure but because of connectivity reliability, then what's the point?! Also, that's not very 'sustainable'!!!??? In fact it's quite the opposite. ooooooo now isn't this good material for a great conversation 😉 #weneedtotalk #innovativeinsights

Rich Greenfield, it's premature to call the Disney/Charter distribution deal a failure. Their "bundle" combines separate Disney products but falls woefully short of meeting consumer needs. I have yet to meet an NFL fan who only cares about the football games that air on ABC and ESPN. As compelling as the Disney programming may be, sports fans want to watch all games, irrespective of the network or streaming service. We should not view the adoption of the bespoke Disney bundle as the measure of the deal's success. The true measure is whether other legacy media companies adopt this deal template to create a comprehensive "full streaming bundle" distributed through pay-TV operators, including Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+, Max, Discovery+, Paramount+, Peacock, and Fox programming. I believe legacy companies' long-term success will largely hinge on their ability to roll out these "full streaming bundles" through pay-TV operators as quickly as possible. I explain why in the comments section of Rich's post. #Disney #WBD #Strategy

The Playground – Friday, July 26, 2024 My picks for the best recent news content from Catena Media’s 20 “Play” regional sites in North America. New York PlayNY.com — Caesars Palace May Have Clearer Path To NY Casino License, But Pushback Still Growing — by Grant D. Lucas https://lnkd.in/g5MpbB6J A proposed Caesars Palace casino in Times Square is gaining momentum for one of three downstate New York licenses after some major pushback against a possible Wynn casino in Manhattan’s Western Rail Yards. Indiana PlayIndiana.com — NCLGS Online Casino Model Could Provide Blueprint For Indiana — by Adam Hensley https://lnkd.in/gqSyDsj5 Indiana lawmakers may consider legalizing online casinos next year, and the National Council of Legislators from Gaming States could aid their efforts. The NCLGS, made up of lawmakers from across the US, is preparing model legislation that states could use to produce their iGaming regulations. The group hopes to create a clear set of guidelines by the end of the year, just in time for the 2025 legislative session in Indiana and elsewhere. Pennsylvania PlayPennsylvania.com — Bally’s Merger To “Drive Growth” In Its PA Online Gambling Products, CEO Says — by Corey Sharp https://lnkd.in/g3Z4_Cvb The same week the Pennsylvania Supreme Court approved a Bally’s casino at the Nittany Mall near Penn State, Bally’s was acquired by its largest common stakeholder, Standard General. That bodes well for the Nittany mini casino and means additional funding for Bally’s to improve its online product in the Keystone State. PlayPennsylvania.com — Boyd Gaming Does Not Rule Out Potential PENN Merger During Q2 Earnings Call — by Corey Sharp https://lnkd.in/gsguAjbH Meanwhile, on Boyd’s Q2 earnings call, executives did not rule out a merger or acquisition.

Predictability. That's what a lot of Stacker's publishing partners are looking for. They want to know the same refreshed content will come down the wires at the same time each week. They can anticipate it. They can build a reader engagement strategy around it. And they can confidently redeploy reporters to other projects long-term. I learned how important these franchises are first-hand when I was at The Associated Press and tasked with changing how we structure our lottery results. I still have battle scars from that project. 😅 But beyond horoscopes, lottery results, and sports scores, what other franchises can we develop? Last year, Stacker produced a monthly series on the items in grocery stores that were shifting in price the most. Our gas prices series continues to be picked up regularly. And we're excited to now be partnering with Backstage, a powerhouse in the entertainment industry since 1960. Every week, we'll syndicate casting calls in each of the 50 states courtesy of Backstage. And it’s not just for professional actors…anyone looking to make a side hustle as an extra should keep an eye out too. ❓ What other weekly fixtures or franchises would engage YOUR readers the most? https://lnkd.in/eGbPDait
