  • 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.

  • Comparative Analysis of Female and Male Coverage on ESPN's
    14 Comparative Analysis of Female and Male Coverage on ESPN’s SportsCenter Tywan G. Martin, University of Miami Young Ik Suh, University of West Georgia Antonio S. Williams, Indiana University Jennifer Locey, Jennifer Ramirez, & Maria Alea, University of Miami Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine whether gender differences existed in the coverage on ESPN’s flagship program, SportsCenter. This study was grounded in the theoretical frameworks of hegemony and agenda setting. The researchers collected data over the course of seven days during the 11:00 p.m. show. A comparative analysis was performed on the content of the popular one-hour television program that investigated the amount of coverage devoted to female and male sports, respectively. The findings of the study indicated that there was a statistically significant difference between the amount of highlights devoted to female athletes in comparison to their male counterpart. The results of this study challenged the notion that a symbiotic relationship existed regarding to all sports and media. While the findings suggested this relationship prevailed for male athletes, the opposite occurred for female athletes. Introduction For several decades, it had been suggested that sport and the media shared a symbiotic relationship (McChesney, 1989; Pedersen, Miloch, & Laucella, 2007). Media outlets relied on sport for content and sport enterprises relied on the media for their platforms that showcased sport offerings, which led to a considerable amount of success in the financial and commercial sectors of business (Coakley, 2007; DeSchriver, Mahony, & Hambrick, 2014). Sports popularity tended to accelerate with increased media coverage, while media generated substantial revenues from circulation and advertisement sales as a result of their extensive relationship and coverage of sports (Galily & Tamir, 2014).
