Webinar replay | Designing and monetising the next generation of sports streaming services

A replay of the excellent SportBusiness webinar held recently.



Monetising OTT platforms is providing sports rights-holders with a new marketing challenge. Faced with evolving fan appetites, rampant piracy and the abundant availability of free content, streaming services are having to develop new approaches to engage paying audiences.


In this recording of the latest webinar from SportBusiness, our panel of media experts talk about the innovations, marketing techniques and pricing strategies that will get fans paying for sports content.
