☆ NBCUniversal is pinning Peacock's streaming success on its $2.45 billion per year NBA deal
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-15 | by ( Alex Sherman | In Alex-Sherman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +7 min

On Jan. 13, NBCUniversal's subscription streaming service Peacock showed its first-ever exclusive NFL playoff game — a 26-7 victory by the eventual Super Bowl-winning Kansas City Chiefs over the Miami Dolphins. For NBCUniversal, obtaining NBA rights helps guarantee sustainability in a fight for eyeballs against streaming behemoths such as Netflix , Amazon Prime Video and Disney +. Beginning with the 2025-26 season, Peacock will have about 50 exclusive national regular-season and postseason NBA games, including national Monday night games and doubleheaders. Having exclusive NBA games is really important for that mission." Discovery decided not to compete with NBCUniversal for NBA rights once the price tag ballooned past $2 billion per year.

SailGP and US Olympic sailor Anna Weis is transforming the image of professional sailing. Weis is leading a new generation of women sailors challenging preconceived notions of female athleticism. With speeds of more than 60 miles per hour, the league is gaining a reputation as 'Formula 1 on the water.' No one was hurt, but the crash was a stark reminder of the high-adrenaline, high-stakes of the sport she has chosen. Vonn's experience competing at the highest level of a sport coupled with her perspective as a female athlete is an invaluable asset to the team, Weis says.

Read previewThe NFL landed a significant, albeit likely temporary, legal victory as a federal judge overturned a $4.7 billion verdict against the league. Gutierrez wrote that the evidence did not support the $4.7 billion in damages awarded in June. The jury initially awarded $4.7 billion in damages, which could have been tripled to $14 billion under federal antitrust laws. The judge wrote that two key witnesses' testimony should be excluded. Daniel Rascher and John Zona's testimonies were supposed to show that subscribers would have paid less if the NFL hadn't made a deal with DirecTV, the judge wrote.

▼ + stars: | 2024-08-01 | by ( Peter Kafka | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

What would you pay for a streaming service that gave you lots — but not all — of the biggest sports programming on TV? Most crucially, it won't include lots of NFL games, since the package doesn't include CBS, which has the national rights to AFC games on Sundays. Take the NFL out of traditional TV and there's almost nothing left at this point. If you wanted a streaming service that had all of the NFL games on traditional TV, you'd need a service like YouTube TV, which currently costs $73 a month. That's partly because the TV companies that are part of the bundle kind of believe that, and partly because they have a delicate relationship with pay TV distributors like Comcast.

☆ WNBA hopes to cash in on rising popularity with media rights reevaluation after 2028 season

The WNBA's new media rights deal includes a price reevaluation after the 2028 season to account for the league's rising popularity, according to people familiar with the agreement. The WNBA deal has been negotiated within a broader $77 billion NBA agreement with media partners announced earlier this week. Instead, the NBA worked with Endeavor Group's media consulting team, led by Karen Brodkin and Hillary Mandel, to assess the value of WNBA rights, said the people. The media partners aren't forced to pay more based on the conclusion of the reevaluation, but they will be incentivized to do so, the people said. A little more than halfway through its current season, the WNBA has already had 16 nationally televised games break the 1 million viewership mark — a league record.

Women's soccer is bringing private equity off the sidelines. While other major U.S. sports leagues – Major League Soccer, the National Basketball Association, Major League Baseball and the National Hockey League – have allowed private equity investors to take passive, minority stakes, only the National Women's Soccer League has allowed these firms to take majority control of the economics. Sixth Street was the first to own a team in building out the San Francisco women's team, Bay FC, last year. The second-ever such deal closed a few weeks ago, as Carlyle partnered with men's team, the Seattle Sounders FC, to buy that city's counterpart in the NWSL, the Reign FC. Popov said NWSL attendance, up more than 40% this year, is evidence of the momentum in the sport.

Sports Innovation Lab estimates the women's sports merchandise industry is worth $4 billion — conservatively.

But while big brands are making strides in partnering with women's professional teams to create merchandise, the women's sports merch buying experience is still lacking.

A satellite dish is no longer the only way bars and restaurants can air the National Football League's package of "Sunday Ticket" games. With this acquisition, bars, restaurants, casinos and other businesses will be able to stream "Sunday Ticket" games. "Sunday Ticket" is an integral sports package for bars and restaurants since it provides all out-of-market NFL games. Since then, the media rights owners of NFL games have begun to offer games simultaneously on their streaming services — and in some cases exclusively. Netflix also recently won the rights to air two NFL games on Christmas this year, and at least one on the holiday in the following two years.
