Sports Industry went through a particularly rough
time during the pandemic, as they attempted to
keep the fans engaged remotely for a little over
a year while the organizations, players, and
teams managed to keep things going from within
the bubble. While the venues and the arenas
stayed closed to the public. The entire industry
was forced to cook up ways to innovate and try on
new ways to entertain sports fans. The content
owners, media companies, and broadcasters created
multiple opportunities thereon to keep the ships
afloat and then pioneered new ways of engagement.
Thus, here we come to you and discuss the ways
to spearhead better approaches for engagement and
also discuss the current areas in the sports
broadcasting industry, where development is going
on right now.

Today, live viewing has blown up the future of
sports broadcasting, from production to screening
everything. When it comes to live viewing, it
needs to be on target and be increasingly
engaging to the viewers. Even before the
pandemic live sports were present but after the
teams and players returned to the field after a
brief break there was a certain change in the
live stream from the production's point of view.
They were not just raptured by the actions on
the field anymore but took the engagement to a
different level with customized insights for the
fans. As we continue to see development in the
field, we would doubtlessly keep on seeing the
development of how telecasters utilize various
feeds to cover various viewpoints with a live
broadcast.

Various feeds, and elective camera points, take
into consideration an upgraded narration of the
sports with various perspectives. Keep in mind
here and don't forget the goal cam installed by
Premier League which aims to deliver an
unfiltered celebratory reaction of the players
and the team from a fixed point that doesn't need
a camera administrator and lets the audience
witness the live reaction of the players directly
from the field to the people watching it at
home. The next big development is future sports
technology like Augmented Reality, along with
other technological enhancements that are in the
phase of development with the aim to change the
way viewers experience live sports events in
stadiums and on their screens. There's been a
nonstop discussion on how the utilization of
Augmented Reality and different innovations could
help improve live games. CBS Sports, through
their NFL joint effort with Nickelodeon, has
given us an incredible illustration of how this
should be possible.

This particular model was driven by a report that
stated watchers actually follow sports at a high
rate, however, they do such by watching
highlights and sports-related online
entertainment content. Hence the objective above
was to draw in a young crowd to change the fact
that the average NFL watchers age has now pushed
over 50.

In the hopes to rope in the young generation,
sports broadcasters would have to put on their
thinking hats and be innovative in their approach
to rope in new viewers. The above experimentation
alone would not be enough but it a series of
changes that need to be brought in and it is this
out-of-the-box thinking that can help the games
and media industry to turn profit from
considering new ideas like this. With emerging
technology in sports, OTT and streaming share a
major share in the channels, it is time
organizers adapted their strategy for this
specific platform. Personalizing the entire
experience will require a lot of research and
data on their viewing habits. Some fans would
appreciate detailed game highlights while others
would like a bird's eye view of the game. Thus,
audience segmentation and targeting the content
accordingly is one of the strategies that is in
the early stages of adoption. Another strategy is
being innovative with the audio, it would be easy
to demonstrate that with an example, La Liga once
experimented in this domain by using influencer
as the narrator of the game. Innovations and
experimentation are the only constants that can
help the organizers deliver content and
personalize that as per viewing experiences.

What should these companies keep an eye on in the
future? 5G and its impact on broadcasting is a
topic that has been discussed many times. It
would transform the way users consume sports,
with reduced latency and better video quality,
the final experience would be immersive and
interactive for all the viewers whether they are
stilling inside the stadium or inside their home.
Sports broadcasting and media could brainstorm on
ways to implement that in the future. While the
pandemic may have momentarily proved to be a
challenge but it did provide impetus to new
developments. With 5G and AR in mind, innovation
in the field would be fascinating as changing the
way we view sports entirely with personalized
targeting. All this can be made a reality with
sports data providers like Data Sports Group.
