TRAVER video case chapter 3 Building an E-commerce Presence case 1 ESPN Goes to eXtreme Scale watch the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIqru81sjV4 summary ESPN is the world’s largest cable television sports programming network. In addition, it is the Web’s most popular online source for sports results, content, and commentary. Servicing an online audience of more than 50 million unique visitors every month requires ESPN to adopt processing technologies that are extremely efficient, powerful, and flexible. 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.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications THE RISE AND FALL OF GRANTLAND A Thesis in Media Studies by Roger Van Scyoc © 2018 Roger Van Scyoc Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts May 2018 The thesis of Roger Van Scyoc was reviewed and approved* by the following: Russell Frank Associate Professor of Journalism Thesis Adviser Ford Risley Professor of Journalism Associate Dean for Undergraduate and Graduate Education Kevin Hagopian Senior Lecturer of Media Studies John Affleck Knight Chair in Sports Journalism and Society Matthew McAllister Professor of Media Studies Chair of Graduate Programs *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT The day before Halloween 2015, ESPN pulled the plug on Grantland. Spooked by slumping revenues and the ghost of its ousted leader Bill Simmons, the multimedia giant axed the sports and pop culture website that helped usher in a new era of digital media. The website, named for sports writing godfather Grantland Rice, channeled the prestige of a bygone era while crystallizing the nature of its own time. Grantland’s writers infused their pieces with spry commentary, unabashed passion and droll humor. Most importantly, they knew what they were writing about. From its birth in June 2011, Grantland quickly became a hub for educated sports consumption. Grantland’s pieces entertained and edified. Often vaulting over 1,000 words, they also skewed toward a more affluent and more educated audience. The internet promoted shifts and schisms by its very nature. Popular with millennials, Grantland filled a certain niche.

    “Beyond The World Cup: The Power Of Hispanic Sports Fans” A Hispanic Sports Overview report for marketing, branding and advertising professionals from Adam R Jacobson Premier Sponsor Distributed exclusively by © 2010 Adam R Jacobson Editorial Services and Research Consultancy FROM THE AUTHOR It's hardly a secret that Hispanic sports fans in the U.S. love soccer. In some cities, the word "love" may be an understatement. Fervent, fanatical fútbol lovers have been the target of many a Chief Marketing Officer, working on behalf of a brand, product or service seeking to maximize its potential for growth in the U.S. Hispanic market. From beer to home improvement retailers to electronics companies and wireless service providers, teaming up with a sports league, favored team or top talent has emerged as a powerful way to get a brand recognized. Yet many marketers stop at the most obvious of opportunities — soccer. Some are simply unaware — or perhaps ignorant — of the additional opportunities for sales growth, activations and that all-important ROI those in the C-Suite hold as their ultimate sign of success. Soccer is by far the No. 1 sport among all Hispanics in the U.S. But not all Latinos are alike, and from region to region across the nation savvy marketers have already noticed — and responded. For Hispanics whose heritage is tied to the Caribbean or Venezuela, baseball rules. Among Latinos across the American West, the Los Angeles Lakers and team superstar Kobe Bryant hold court like few other sports properties. In Miami, a typical tailgate party ahead of a Dolphins home game features churrasco, salchicha and a cacophony of car stereos blaring salsa and reggaetón tunes.

IRVING, Texas (April 6, 2016) – The National Football Foundation (NFF) & College Hall of Fame highlighted today multiple impressive facts from the 2015 college football season that emphasize the strong popularity of college football among millions of fans across the country. “The already intense interest in college football continues to grow,” said NFF President & CEO Steve Hatchell. “Embracing ever changing technology, the leaders of our sport have done a spectacular job in ensuring that the fan experience not only keeps pace but sets the standard in innovation. We are grateful to the conferences, bowl games and the media for their creativity and commitment in delivering a first-class product that allows fans to experience the game in every imaginable way.” The top highlights include: Digital Era Continues to Grow: The 2015 college football season continued the increasing trend of fans watching games through means other than just their televisions. ESPN’s streaming service, WatchESPN, saw per game increases of 54 percent in average minute impressions, 38 percent in total unique viewers and 53 percent in total minutes viewed. Factoring in both the regular season and bowl season, seven of the top 10 most-streamed college football games ever occurred during the 2015 season and all 10 have occurred since January 2015. The second CFP National Championship, presented on multiple streams through the ESPN Megacast, ranked as the best game ever on WatchESPN across all major metrics, excluding the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
