Seen on Screen: NFL Makes Streaming Debut on Yahoo Sunday; Annual Premios Univision Deportes to Air
23/10/2015
On Sunday morning, Yahoo's global webcast of the Buffalo Bills-Jacksonville Jaguars game from London will mark the first time the NFL will offer a regular-season game exclusively on the Internet. The 9:30 a.m. telecast from London is free and available on Yahoo.com, which will distribute the telecast on every platform imaginable. It will be produced by CBS, which has assigned the announcing team of Kevin Harlan, Rich Gannon and Jamie Erdahl. Yahoo also announced on Thursday more than 30 advertisers would present sports during the game and that the webcast was sold out. The globally streamed game is an experiment by the NFL to attract American football internationally, as well as how popular a game will be when it is distributed entirely digitally. It could lead to a more extensive streaming deal in the future with Yahoo or another digital company
Univision Deportes announced Monday the second annual Premios Univision Deportes (Univision Sports Awards) launched successfully in 2014 as the ultimate sports award show for U.S. Hispanics honoring top athletes and teams from the leagues and sports that Hispanics care about most. Premios Univision Deportes will take place in Miami and will air live on the Univision network on Sunday, December 20, 2015 at 8:00 p.m ET/PT with a simulcast on UDC (Univision Deportes Network)
Media rights are projected to surpass ticket sales in 2018. According to PwC studies, estimates shown more than 35 percent of MLB, NBA and NHL teams have media rights deals that are set to expire over the next five years, but owners will continue to look for ways to further monetize teams' on-demand digital assets. As a share of the overall sports industry, media rights will account for 28 percent ($20.6 billion) of the total measured revenue in 2019, up from 17 percent ($7.0 billion) in 2005. On the national media rights front, Sports Business Journal research indicates that between now and 2019, new deals will be negotiated for the Big Ten Conference (for rights held by ESPN, CBS and Fox), Conference USA (ESPN, CBS Sports Network and Fox), IndyCar (ESON) and UEFA (Fox), as well as rights for the NFL's Thursday night package (CBS)

NBC Sports Digital will announce additional digital-exclusive programming in the coming months with episode and clips distributing through NBCSports.com and NBC Sports Live Extra

Sage Steele returns for her third season as NBA Countdown host, joining analysts Jalen Rose and Doug Collins - also in their third seasons on the show - to form the Countdown team. The trio will generally appear on pre-game shows prior to NBA on ESPN Friday doubleheaders, Saturday Night NBA on ABC (launching Jan. 23) and NBA Sunday Showcase on ABC (beginning Jan. 31). Chauncey Billups, who joined ESPN as an analyst during the 2014-15 NBA season, will join the Wednesday edition of NBA Countdown as an analyst, alongside Jalen Rose and Doris Burke, who is in her second season on the show. NBA Countdown will emanate from ESPN's Los Angeles Production Center across the street from the Staples Center for the fifth consecutive season
