NFL future – streaming or good ole fashion TV!





NFL future – streaming or good ole fashion TV!

Following the talk from the CEO of Luma Partners in our class last week, I found this article to be so relevant. In the rapidly changing landscape of media, the traditional media companies continue to face daunting challenge from the big social media giants such as Google and Facebook. The article talks about both the struggle and opportunity for NFL.



As NFL continues to struggle with declined viewership, especially with younger audience, the new digital platform present both an opportunity and a struggle. NFL makes billions of dollars by selling live game rights to the big TV studios. With the (cable) cord cutting generation becoming more mainstream, NFL is facing a real challenge to retain fans. At the same time, TV studios have live games and sports as the last hope that’s keeping them relevant in the age of digital media.

Who will be the winner in the end – silicon valley or the traditional TV giants?
