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

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)
