The international market research and strategy firm recently completed a survey of some 1200 adults, the results of which are stoking broadcasters’ excitement over the standard’s potential. Some 55% of respondents said they plan to buy a smart TV in the next 12 months, spending an average of $950. These same people are excited about ATSC 3.0 capabilities such as restarting a program or weather alerts on TV that will wake them up. Those figures are definitely exciting to OEMs, who broadcasters said are already asking about stick- ers to label sets as ATSC 3.0 or 1.0. The first of those 3.0 sets and DVRs are expected to arrive in 2020. Full-scale implementation is probably 7-10 years off (partly because the FCC’s spectrum repack process needs to wrap), but there’s plenty of opportunity before it’s 100% deployed, said Anne Schelle, managing director of Pearl TV, a busi- ness consortia of broadcast companies working to develop next-generation broadcast television platforms.

  • The Success of the Overwatch League: Is It Sustainable?
    The Success of the Overwatch League: Is it Sustainable? An Honors Thesis (HONR 499) by Tyler Nelson Thesis Advisor Dr. Khirey Walker Ball State University Muncie, Indiana May 2020 Expected Date of Graduation May 2020 Abstract Esports are a growing industry across the world. This thesis reviews the history/success of several esport leagues and identifies the factors that make these leagues successful. As a result of preliminary research, the primary goal of this study will be to develop a model that could predict the success of esport leagues. These factors include mainstream appeal of esports, league structure examples, and general broadcasting reach. The model is then used to examine the Overwatch League, an esport league that began competition in 2018, and concludes that the Overwatch League is structured for sustained success in the esport market. Acknowledgements I want to thank my parents and Audrey for supporting me while I worked full-time and completed my schooling. Without their encouragement, it would have been difficult to complete this thesis. I would like to thank Sarah and Norm, who took a chance on me and allowed me to work in the sport industry while I completed my degree. Their understanding with my schedule and time commitments is greatly appreciated. I would also like to thank Dr. Walker, whose assistance and guidance has been invaluable throughout this process. 1 Process Analysis Statement The route to the completion of my thesis has been long and winding, and extremely difficult for me. In the summer between my junior and senior years, I completed an internship with my current employer.

  • Traditional Sports and Esports: the Path to Collective Bargaining
    N3_RIDENHOUR.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 5/29/2020 12:13 PM Traditional Sports and Esports: The Path to Collective Bargaining Kelsey F. Ridenhour* ABSTRACT: Esports is a rising industry that has seen rapid growth in recent years. With an explosion in investment and revenue, competitive leagues have begun to form for most popular esports with lucrative winnings. However, not all players win big, and the existing systems in place for players are often inadequate to protect them from unfair labor practices. This Note examines the current competitive esports landscape and compares it to traditional sports leagues to show that esports players’ unions are an attractive option for players to eliminate harsh working conditions and gain a seat at the bargaining table. Examples from the history of traditional players associations show that although there are legal and market constraints on the formation of esports players’ unions, eventually, collective bargaining will be a reality in the industry. This Note first highlights relevant labor law issues and antitrust realities of traditional sports. This Note then explores what current esports players endure and how the industry impacts efforts at forming a union. Next, this Note considers the shape and form an esports players’ union might take.
