SPORTS’ NEW TV FORMULA


Variety partnered with Maru to survey fans of major U.S. leagues, including the NFL, NBA, and MLB. The results depict a radically different type of fan who values brand extensions into areas of interest while placing less value on watching whole games.

Sports are at an evolutionary juncture. Some will be more adept than others at adapting to suit the tastes of new fans. Decisions made in the next few years will have a magnified impact on the next generation of emerging fans and how they both watch TV but also engage in general with the leagues.

Read on to learn about:

  1. How fandom is changing with a new generation of fans aging into sports.

  2. What viewership trends for leagues suggest for the future of the televised sport.

  3. Challenges facing football, baseball, basketball, soccer, pro wrestling, college sports, NASCAR, hockey, and golf.
