☆ Private-equity and VC investors look to sports, AI, and live events as the era of peak TV draws to a close

That was a far steeper decline than the overall venture funding market, which declined 38% in 2023, the report said. (The report was based on data from Crunchbase, which Alignment Growth is an investor in.) Investors have been flocking to AI, live entertainment, and sports. Sports M&A nearly tripled in three years to $27.9 billion in 2023, driven by deals for team franchises, the Alignment Growth report showed. High ticket prices for live entertainment could dampen attendance, especially if consumer confidence takes a hit.

☆ Media insiders say ESPN's new sports-betting push could help it court a younger crowd and set up a spinoff from Disney
  + stars: | 2023-08-14 | by ( Lucia Moses | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Industry insiders say ESPN's deal with Penn Entertainment could signal a potential ESPN spinoff from Disney. Disney announced a $2 billion deal with casino operator Penn Entertainment to create ESPN Bet. ESPN's $2 billion Penn Entertainment deal rocked the sports-betting world — and also renewed speculation among industry insiders that Disney could spin off its media crown jewel. For ESPN, it's not as material, but it's helpful — ESPN has locked in a 10-year partner with guaranteed pay so that improves the visibility of ESPN's revenue. To be sure, some industry watchers have questioned how the deal positions ESPN's ability to catch up in the sports-betting race.
