The biggest UFABET attract billions of dollars in rights fees and sponsorships. They also demand pristine video quality to keep fans glued to their screens. That’s a tall order for broadcasters and streaming services, but one that has been made easier as technologies evolve.
The History of Live Sports Broadcasting: From Radio to Streaming
The rise of OTT (over-the-top) services like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime has made live sports more accessible than ever before. Fans can watch on their smartphone, tablet or laptop with the right high-speed broadband connection. It has also changed how people watch sports – and the way they talk about them.
In the past, sports broadcasters relied on national or local TV networks to air telecasts and regionally syndicated cable channels to show games within a specific market. But with the emergence of SVOD services, many sports leagues and organizations have started to monetize their own platforms and partners in order to control the content distribution process.
This is especially true for major leagues, who are starting to see the value of reaching out directly to consumers through their own digital streaming offerings. They’re offering live sports streams on their own branded apps in addition to simulcasting them on their traditional TV networks.
