It isn't picking the right sport, its paying the right amount. Doesn't matter the sport if you paid to much.Hard Yes, but not if you pick the right sports.
Possible, you could also use the term hypothetical. The great disadvantage of streaming as a medium to leverage is, it tends to be people already aware of what is being streamed who watched. All those Americans who stumbled across AFL on ESPN probably wouldn't have if it was a streamed service. Not saying it cannot be good, but there is a lot of downside if things are not going well.Because of the possible LEVERAGE. Please read answers before you reply.
That's what media analysts are looking at. "LIVE" is the big attraction.
Are you able to have a conversation without being condescending? That the industry is moving towards independent suppliers, and that the AFL is ready for this, doesn't mean the AFL comes out ahead, or even equal. Pay TV and FTA pay a premium for what high end sport brings them, this results in the AFL being paid more than what a straight dollars and cents analysis of the value of the sports might indicate. Will distributors like Amazon pay a premium? I think they will for NFL, for AFL? Amazon has actually stated that using NFL to grab audience in places like the UK and Australia is part of their hopes in acquiring NFL content. Buying big sports and packaging them globally suits their profile more than buying local sports to attract a local audience. I do not think the AFLs own service will return the same value long term, certainly the NFL seems to be going to external streamers, not in house.Again, pay attention. The industry is moving towards independent suppliers. AFL and NRL are already setup.
Or less? Or a lot less? Certainly not a lot more.Ask the AFL and NRL. It could easily make the AFL more than that.
