  • Victory Sports Directv Distribution Issues Victory Sports One Is A
    Victory Sports DirecTV Distribution Issues Victory Sports One is a regional sports network (“Victory RSN”) operated by Victory Sports, L.L.C. (“Victory”) an affiliate of the Minnesota Twins Major League Baseball Club (the ”Twins”). Victory was established in part to allow the Minnesota Twins to capture a greater share of the television broadcast revenue currently generated by the Twins, enhancing the long term viability of the Twins as the team seeks to remain competitive with teams located in larger and more lucrative markets. The Victory RSN will also emphasize the broadcast of local college and high school sports, providing a regional broadcast venue supporting local sports. Fox Sports Net North (“Fox North”), a News Corporation (“News Corp”) affiliate, held the broadcast rights to Twins games prior to Victory. Originally, Victory planned to launch the Victory RSN prior to the 2002 baseball season. The launch date was delayed, however, due to litigation over the rights to broadcast Twins games. The initial launch of the Victory RSN is now scheduled for October 31, 2003 with the broadcast of Twins games to begin with the 2004 season. Victory Broadcast Territory The broadcast territory for the Victory RSN will eventually include all of Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota, all or part of Iowa and a portion of western Wisconsin and its sports programming will be representative of that broadcast territory (the “Victory Broadcast Territory”). The Minneapolis-St. Paul DMA is the home of the Twins, which in turn represent the largest and most valuable block of regional sports programming available in the Victory Broadcast Territory.

  • Challenging ESPN: How Fox Sports Can Play in ESPN's Arena
    Challenging ESPN: How Fox Sports can play in ESPN’s Arena Kristopher M. Gundersen May 1, 2014 Professor Richard Linowes – Kogod School of Business University Honors Spring 2014 Gundersen 1 Abstract The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship ESPN has with the sports broadcasting industry. The study focuses on future prospects for the industry in relation to ESPN and its most prominent rival Fox Sports. It introduces significant players in the market aside from ESPN and Fox Sports and goes on to analyze the current industry conditions in the United States and abroad. To explore the future conditions for the market, the main method used was a SWOT analysis juxtaposing ESPN and Fox Sports. Ultimately, the study found that ESPN is primed to maintain its monopoly on the market for many years to come but Fox Sports is positioned well to compete with the industry behemoth down the road. In order to position itself alongside ESPN as a sports broadcasting power, Fox Sports needs to adjust its time horizon, improve its bids for broadcast rights, focus on the personalities of its shows, and partner with current popular athletes. Additionally, because Fox Sports has such a strong regional persona and presence outside of sports, it should leverage the relationship it has with those viewers to power its national network. Gundersen 2 Introduction The world of sports is a fast-paced and exciting one that attracts fanatics from all over. They are attracted to specific sports as a whole, teams within a sport, and traditions that go along with each sport.

INTRODUCTION By Diana Nyad For two decades, the GENDER IN TELEVISED SPORTS report has tracked the progress— as well as the lack of progress—in the coverage of women’s sports on television news and highlights shows. One of the positive outcomes derived from past editions of this valuable study has been a notable improvement in the often‐derogatory ways that sports commentators used to routinely speak of women athletes. The good news in this report is that there is far less insulting and overtly sexist treatment of women athletes than there was twenty or even ten years ago.
