这篇博客是关于直接面向消费者的流媒体如何重新塑造媒体格局的两部分系列中的第二篇。 在这里阅读第一部分。
随着新玩家挑战传统广播模式,体育直播流媒体市场正在快速发展。 最近的欧冠联赛版权分配就是一个例证,首次由三个组织分割,亚马逊,TNT体育和英国广播公司从2024年起分享版权。 在竞争激烈的环境中,体育权利持有者面临着最大限度提高投资回报率的巨大压力。 因此,制定防弹上市战略变得前所未有的重要。
如今,流媒体技术的可负担性和质量正在推动采用直接面向消费者(D2C)策略,因为组织希望利用新的盈利流。 然而,在全球范围内提供优质的体育直播内容是一项复杂的工作,尤其是在实现有效和可靠的广告工作流程方面。
