Leaders from NBC Sports Regional Networks, Altitude, SNY, Marquee Sports Network, and Chicago Sports Network discuss the state of the industry
Although regional sports networks (RSNs) continue to produce the lion’s share of live pro-sports broadcasts in the U.S., it’s impossible to avoid today’s market reality: times are tough. Between cable’s ongoing cord-cutting exodus, more games migrating to national-rights packages, and a litany of pro teams opting to go the DTC or OTA route in lieu of cable, what are RSNs doing to survive? The answer: PLENTY.
In this in-depth panel discussion, key leaders from across the nation’s RSNs share how they are innovating and finding fresh ways to engage fans old and new.
