The Changing Face Of Live Sports: Part 1 - The Rise Of Nimble Production
Live sports broadcasting has always been the preserve of big leagues and big broadcasters with the infrastructure, the clout and the resources to match. But it is no longer the only game in town.
The same efficiencies that are enabling tier one broadcasters to do more with less are also giving niche and lower-tier rights holders the ability to level up their own content ecosystems. Decentralized, flexible, and more nimble workflows are not only enabling them to stream live sports direct to fans all over the globe, but encouraging broadcasters to get on board to reach new, untapped audiences.
Nimble production isn't just more economical; it’s how a generation of underserved audiences are getting access to the content they were always hungry for.
This free content series tracks the rise of these agile production workflows for three companies who have designed nimble workflows into the core of their production ecosystems. It explores some of the contribution technology and connectivity advances that are making it all possible, and it uncovers why nimble production is just as much of a cultural shift as it is a technical one.
