  • The Changing Face of Sports Media January 2010 the Changing Face 2010 of Sports Media
    The Nielsen Company The Changing Face of Sports Media January 2010 The Changing Face 2010 of Sports Media Welcome to Nielsen’s 2010 The Changing Face of Sports Media, a compilation of media and consumer insights from across The Nielsen Company. Enclosed you will find television ratings, advertising intelligence, as well as online and mobile information to provide an almanac of US sports fan consumption in 2009. There is no true beginning or end to the sports year and many sports’ seasons straddle both ends of the calendar. In that spirit, and in the interest of delivering the most comprehensive analysis, we included data from each sport’s latest completed regular season as of January 10, 2010. The data reveal that we are living in an incredible time for sports consumption. There were over 43,700 hours of live sporting events on broadcast and cable television in 2009. And the continued growth of high definition and satellite TV – now in 33% and 29% of US homes, respectively – made it even easier for fans to follow their favorite teams in amazing clarity no matter where they might be located across the country. The DVR-proof nature of sports continued to entice commercial advertisers who, despite a down economy, spent $7.6 billion on sports programming in the past year. Sports are also perfectly suited for the current three-screen media age. On average 81 million people in the US visited sports websites each month to keep tabs on their fantasy teams or follow any one of the captivating stories this year.

The growing inuence of Netix, Amazon Prime, on demand/time shifting, streaming, and social media are all having a dramatic impact on the way people are consuming content and changing the landscape of linear TV.

  • Nadal Closes on Slams Record, Barty Raises Home Hopes at Australian Open Spaniard on Course for Title Match with Djokovic
    14 Established 1961 Sports Tuesday, February 16, 2021 Photo of the day Twin volleyball stars suspended over bullying SEOUL: Two twin South Korean women volleyball stars have been suspended from the national team over allegations of school bullying, reports said Monday, in the latest sporting abuse scandal to hit the country. Volleyball is one of South Korea’s most popular spectator sports after the big three of baseball, golf and football. Lee Jae-yeong and Lee Da-yeong, 24, both play for the Heungkuk Life Insurance Pink Spiders, the biggest women’s team in the country, and were instrumental in securing South Korea’s place at the Tokyo Olympics. They were accused of bullying last week by an online poster claiming to be a former middle school teammate, who listed 21 alle- gations including physical violence, stealing money, and threatening with a knife. At least four other victims endured similar abuse, the poster said. The Lees admitted their “irresponsible behavior in the past” in an Instagram post and apologized. Their club sus- pended them indefinitely yesterday. “We are very sorry and feel deeply responsible for disappointing everyone who loves volleyball,” the Pink Spiders said in a statement. “School vio- lence is something that should never happen, and it cannot be tolerated for any reason.” Hours later, the players were banned from the national team for an unspecified period, Yonhap news agency report- ed. As well as their sporting prowess, the Lees have bolstered their celebrity status by appearing on various television pro- grams. But the accusations over their past prompted wide- spread outrage in a country where bullying at school or in the workplace is a serious social problem.
