The most watched Rugby property in the US + the Worldwide leader.
Fantastic coverage leading up to #RWC2031. Way to move the sport of rugby forward in this market

Saturday's @GeorgiaFootball / @AlabamaFTBL game was the 4th most watched on ABC in the CFP era. Uniquely, this was only the 2nd in the Top 10 to take place after Wk 1 and before Wk 12.
Look for realignment to mean bigger games throughout the season.

With #DSG's nonpayment to the #Padres, @MLB steps to the plate (pun intended) to solve local distribution & provide a revenue floor for one of its clubs. Is this a new era for local market #mediarights?
🙏 @bysarahkrouse for incl. my 💡 in your latest @WSJ piece.

The Padres have promised players big paychecks, but a big source of the team’s revenue just dried up w/ @lindseyadler wsj.com/sports/baseball/diam…

Will an @nba #InSeasonTournament create more games of consequence ahead of the league's next domestic #mediarights cycle?
🙏 to @HowieLongShort for incl. some of my 💡 on potential performance benchmarks for this new regular season concept in his latest #JWS piece.

The NBA is reportedly planning to hold an annual in-season tournament.
Why?
Tentpole events (think: Xmas Day, Finals) drive media rights value and the best way for the league to keep the pie growing is to create and nurture more properties like them.
