Leaders Sport Business Podcast
Ep 22: Behind the scenes at Leaders ii
Why can't a pure-play OTT sports broadcast service guarantee consistent service? Where will Amazon's sports rights strategy take it and when? When will consumers reach their 'skinny bundle' price point threshold? Has sports broadcasting been disrupted?
Remarkably, all four of these questions - and many more besides - are answered in this edition of the Leaders Podcast, which takes in a series of behind-the-scenes conversations at the Broadcast Disruptors event, which kicked off Leaders Week in London in early October this year.
In this episode, you'll hear from:
- James Rushton, CEO of DAZN, who gives his honest report card on the first year of the OTT broadcaster's service, and explains why little mistakes are not the end of the world;
- Jo Binding, VP ofInternational Digital for Discovery Networks International, on Amazon's will-they-won't-they entrance into the sports broadcast world, and the difficulty of delivering OTT sports services;
- Gareth Capon, CEO of Grabyo, on producing for a multi-screen world and why consumer behaviour is driving technological delivery methods and content types.
