In addition, it is the Web’s most popular online source for sports results, content, and commentary.

L= 5:4 0. case ESPN (Entertainment and Sports Programming Network) is a multimedia, global cable television network with headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut. Founded in 1979 with financing provided by The Getty Oil Company, ESPN grew along with the cable television industry to become a mainstay of American popular culture. After a series of investments by Hearst Publications, and ABC (the American Broadcasting Network), 80% of ESPN finally ended up in the hands of entertainment giant The Walt Disney Company, and 20% with the Hearst Corporation, a 100 year-old media company based largely on newspaper and magazine businesses. ESPN focuses on sports programming including live and pre-taped event telecasts, sports talk shows, and other original programming. While originally a cable media company, ESPN has since expanded aggressively to the Internet as well as radio and print magazines. continued CHAPTER 3 CASE 1 ESPN GOES TO EXTREME SCALE 2 ESPN is actually a family of sports networks and individual shows.

  • A Quantitative Approach to Influential Factors in One Day
    Journal of Sports Analytics 5 (2019) 57–63 57 DOI 10.3233/JSA-170260 IOS Press A quantitative approach to influential factors in One Day International cricket: Analysis based on Bangladesh Jahidur Rahman Khana, Raaj Kishore Biswasb,∗ and Enamul Kabirb aInstitute of Statistical Research and Training, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh bSchool of Agricultural, Computational and Environmental Sciences, University of Southern View metadata,Queensland, citation and Australia similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Southern Queensland ePrints Abstract. The Bangladesh Cricket Team has performed well in the recent past with steady traits of improvement. Apart from the players’ performance, some external factors are associated with the outcome of a cricket match. This paper investigates prematch toss, batting sequence, match time, opposition team’s origin and time (in years) as independent factors influencing the performance of the Bangladesh team. Outcomes of 314 One Day International (ODI) matches were fitted with a typical logistic regression model and modified Poisson model to explore the association of these factors with match results. Both models showed consistency, although the logistic model outcomes were extreme with wider confidence intervals for odds ratios, compared to the risk ratios of the modified Poisson regression model. Bangladesh, a country where cricket reflects nationalism, has shown significant improvement over time. They tend to perform better in day matches, play superior cricket against non-Asian teams and take full home advantage. Keywords: Sports, ODI Cricket, logistic model, modified poisson model, Bangladesh 1. Introduction (ODI) cricket.
