This felt inevitable. Eurosport's brand will be no more in UK TV. www.sportspro.com/news/eurospo...

After a few weeks off moving country and holidaying in Australia, I'll be back on the 🎙️#StreamTimeSports pod airwaves discussing the current sports media landscape.

Len Blavatnik has now put in $6.7bn into DAZN. $6.7 BILLION! Let's put that in perspective as we look at some of the numbers the business is delivering. Revenues rose to $2.7bn in 2023. Up from $2.2bn Losses also rose. Up to $1.4bn for the year. $1.2bn the previous year.

The hole for the LFP - Ligue de Football Professionnel continues to deepen. DAZN appear nowhere near where they need to be subscriber wise to make the investment in Ligue 1 viable from a long term perspective. www.sportspro.com/news/dazn-li...

There seems to be a fire sale on sports focused platforms in Australia. Is it a sign of things to come for sports media companies globally? www.sportspro.com/news/nine-st...

Exclusive for SportsPro: The DFL is expanding its international streaming product to Vietnam & South Africa. Fans in both countries can live stream games via the OneFootball platform, on a PPV basis or with a season pass. #bundesliga www.sportspro.com/news/bundesl...

Has #F1's Drive to Survive bubble burst? Or is this just a result of Verstappen's dominance? Average audiences for live F1 races on Espn in the US have dropped 2 years in a row following a solid uplift in the 2022 season.

One of the hottest topics in the world of sports media is the growth of advertising's impact in live sports streaming. With the rise of ad-funded models—even in the #OTT space—platforms and sports properties of all sizes are rethinking their strategies.

Will the Premier League follow the lead of LaLiga, Bundesliga or the NFL when it comes to their approach to media production? podfollow.com/streamtime-p...

Is Paul Barber, the Chief Executive of @officialbha.bsky.social, the best club boss in the Premier League? Many think so, and here's why:

Well we all know Saudi Arabia has been on a sports spending spree but few in the industry would realise just how extensive it really is. 910 sponsorships in different sports and 1,412 positions in 207 Saudi entities. Public Investment Fund (PIF) accounts for 346 of those sponsorships.

Just what is the Premier League gearing up for after severing ties with 20+ year production partner IMG? Is it to build 'Premflix' or some sort of D2C product? is it about opening up more potential platform partners?...

This really flew under my radar. The Premier League signed a deal for $560m for broadcast rights in Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. Who says deals aren't to be had when it comes to live media rights!? www.sportspromedia.com/news/premier...
