WHAT DOES THE FUTURE 
OF SPORTS MEDIA LOOK 
LIKE?
https://datasportsgroup.com/
Sports Industry went through a particularly rough time during the pandemic, as 
they attempted to keep the fans engaged remotely for a little over a year while 
the organizations, players, and teams managed to keep things going from within 
the bubble.
While the venues and the arenas stayed closed to the public. The entire industry 
was forced to cook up ways to innovate and try on new ways to entertain sports 
fans. The content owners, media companies, and broadcasters created multiple 
opportunities thereon to keep the ships afloat and then pioneered new ways of 
engagement. 
Thus, here we come to you and discuss the ways to spearhead better approaches 
for engagement and also discuss the current areas in the sports broadcasting 
industry, where development is going on right now.
Today, live viewing has blown up the future of sports broadcasting, from 
production to screening everything. When it comes to live viewing, it needs to be 
on target and be increasingly engaging to the viewers. 
Even before the pandemic live sports were present but after the teams and players 
returned to the field after a brief break there was a certain change in the live 
stream from the production's point of view. 
They were not just raptured by the actions on the field anymore but took the 
engagement to a different level with customized insights for the fans. As we 
continue to see development in the field, we would doubtlessly keep on seeing the 
development of how telecasters utilize various feeds to cover various viewpoints 
with a live broadcast. 
Various feeds, and elective camera points, take into consideration an upgraded 
narration of the sports with various perspectives. Keep in mind here and don't 
forget the goal cam installed by Premier League which aims to deliver an unfiltered 
celebratory reaction of the players and the team from a fixed point that doesn't 
need a camera administrator and lets the audience witness the live reaction of the 
players directly from the field to the people watching it at home.
The next big development is future sports technology like Augmented Reality, along 
with other technological enhancements that are in the phase of development with 
the aim to change the way viewers experience live sports events in stadiums and on 
their screens.
There's been a nonstop discussion on how the utilization of Augmented Reality and 
different innovations could help improve live games. CBS Sports, through their NFL 
joint effort with Nickelodeon, has given us an incredible illustration of how this 
should be possible. 
This particular model was driven by a 
report that stated watchers actually 
follow sports at a high rate, however, 
they do such by watching highlights 
and 
sports-related online entertainment con
tent
. Hence the objective above was to draw 
in a young crowd to change the fact that 
the average NFL watcher’s age has now 
pushed over 50.
In the hopes to rope in the young generation, sports broadcasters would have to put 
on their thinking hats and be innovative in their approach to rope in new viewers. 
The above experimentation alone would not be enough but it a series of changes 
that need to be brought in and it is this out-of-the-box thinking that can help the 
games and media industry to turn profit from considering new ideas like this.
With emerging technology in sports, OTT and streaming share a major share in the 
channels, it is time organizers adapted their strategy for this specific platform. 
Personalizing the entire experience will require a lot of research and data on their 
viewing habits. Some fans would appreciate detailed game highlights while others 
would like a bird's eye view of the game. Thus, audience segmentation and targeting 
the content accordingly is one of the strategies that is in the early stages of adoption. 
Another strategy is being innovative with the audio, it would be easy to demonstrate 
that with an example, La Liga once experimented in this domain by using influencer 
as the narrator of the game. Innovations and experimentation are the only constants 
that can help the organizers deliver content and personalize that as per viewing 
experiences.
What should these companies keep an eye on in the future?
5G and its impact on broadcasting is a topic that has been discussed many times. It 
would transform the way users consume sports, with reduced latency and better 
video quality, the final experience would be immersive and interactive for all the 
viewers whether they are stilling inside the stadium or inside their home. Sports 
broadcasting and media could brainstorm on ways to implement that in the future.
While the pandemic may have momentarily proved to be a challenge but it did 
provide impetus to new developments. With 5G and AR in mind, innovation in the 
field would be fascinating as changing the way we view sports entirely with 
personalized targeting. All this can be made a reality with sports data providers
