9:10-10:00: Generating
Revenue from Sports and Convergence
How does a team or league re-create itself for new mediums?
What new challenges must be addressed when selling content
to traditional media knowing there is new competition from
other sources? Can leagues keep revenues up? Can broadcasters
keep viewership up? What must everyone in the value chain
think about to create a compelling ecosystem for the consumer
that is coherently tied together? Finally, what are successful
types of broadband services such as streaming video and audio,
mobile offerings, ecommerce/auctions and Web publishing that
are increasing revenue and building fan loyalty?

10:45-11:35: Resolving
Sports Rights Chaos
Only a few years ago sports fans only had three ways to watch
their favorite sports teams: radio, television or going to
the game. Today there are threats to those traditional business:
the Internet, satellite radio, satellite broadcasters, and
even technologies like Sling move a team from its hometown
to anywhere in the world. How does this impact local broadcasts?
How do you sell baseball TV rights in Cleveland when people
can watch games online in San Francisco? How can teams and
broadcasters take advantage of these emerging distribution
methods while preserving their revenue streams?

2:10-3:00: Multi-Platform
Sports for Gen X and Y
The key demographics of 16-to-34-year old males are spending
less time watching network television and more time on alternative
media platforms like Internet, cable, video games, DVDs and
mobile devices. The NHL signed a deal for social networking.
There are new ways to reach this generation, such as nontraditional
inventory like court side signage in video games and sponsored
content on cell phones. We discuss what marketing experts
show how the younger generation is consuming sports and new
marketing and advertising opportunities.

Sports and IPTV
IPTV or internet protocol television uses a digital broadcast
signal to deliver sports programs to consumers' television
sets. A set top box connected to the TV converts IP video
into standard television signals. In addition, there is also
iTV, or Internet TV, which is defined by the thousands of
TV channels that consumers can now access directly through
their web browsers. Sports brands are now experimenting with
increased opportunities to leverage this digital content as
more dollars shift to the Internet. NASCAR has a series of
channels that literally put TV subscribers behind the wheel
of competitors’ cars. Hear how other sports are now
testing new opportunities for delivery of sports using IPTV
instead of traditional broadcast.
