New Episode of JaneWallStreet’s ATT: PLL Co-Founder Paul Rabil

On the latest episode of JaneWallStreet Presents: At The Table, a biweekly podcast exploring the intersection of sports, media, and finance through the lens of (mostly) female decision-makers, JaneWallStreet Executive Chair Deirdre Lester sits down with Premier Lacrosse League Co-Founder, President and Chief Creative Officer Paul Rabil. The two surface and discuss a range of actionable insights, including how challenger leagues can use their first media deal to build a case for the next one, why they should build an investor base that brings more than capital, and why pro leagues are best positioned to rebuild recreational sports.

Teams Rethinking Ticketing Strategy to Maximize Single-Game Upside

How pro sports organizations are going about filling their buildings is changing. Teams are increasingly retaining inventory to sell on a single-game basis rather than committing those seats to season ––or miniature–– ticket packages. And the expectation is that more organizations will retain an even larger share of single-game ticketing inventory in the years ahead.

New Episode of TSA: TV Bundle Economics and the Future of National Rights

In the latest episode, four JohnWallStreet Advisory advisors explain how the decline in local media rights values to nearly zero for many MLB, NBA and NHL teams —and shrinking spending on entertainment programming— seemingly offers a preview of what a highly consolidated, lower-margin video distribution business is most likely to yield for national sports rights in the years ahead. Key insights from the 55-minute conversation include: rights owners looking to replace lost revenues should create new content assets and rethink how games are broadcast, altcasts offer a path to monetization and the general market, investing in fan identity infrastructure can drive revenue growth, and more.

AI Is More Than a Single Sponsorship Category

Bayern Munich signed two AI partners in less than a calendar month this past summer. The two pacts make it clear that AI is more than a single sponsorship category. The question is just how partners can coexist before their deals begin to cannibalize one another?

Beauty Brands Are Coming for Sports—and They Want More Than Exposure

Beauty Brands Are Coming for Sports—and They Want More Than Exposure

Beauty presents a distinct opportunity because brands within the category are decidedly investing to reach female fans. The industry also has an $11.4 billion global advertising budget and has historically spent little with rights owners and holders. Rights owners and holders must offer beauty brands more than visibility. However, properties that can successfully pair access to the demo with engaging on-site activations and measurable gains in awareness, purchase intent, and/or sales should be positioned to capture an outsized portion of the fast-growing category’s spend.

Bundle Economics Came for RSNs First, National Rights Are Next

The decline in local media rights values to nearly zero for many MLB, NBA and NHL teams —and shrinking spending on entertainment programming— seemingly offers a preview of what a highly consolidated, lower-margin video distribution business is most likely to yield for national sports rights in the years ahead. Remember, the subscriber fees that power national rights spending are the same cable bundle-related dollars once used to purchase local rights.

Maffei’s Horse Racing League Following F1’s Growth Playbook

Former Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei and Skylark Founder and CEO Danny Epstien are out raising $30mm to bring a new team-based competition to thoroughbred racing. The pair see a historically prominent sport that still draws massive audiences for tentpole events but struggles to sustain interest between them, and believe, by applying elements of Maffei’s F1 playbook, they can deepen engagement among existing supporters while attracting a broader audience of sports fans and live-entertainment consumers.
