Value of womens football going up "TNT Sports in the UK and Ireland has boosted its European club football offering after agreeing a sublicence deal with DAZN that will see certain games from the UEFA Women’s Champions League and from the French, Spanish and German leagues on its channels and platforms, starting this season." TNT Sports, the new merger between BT Sport and WBD has decided that the value proposition of having more women's football on their platform is very important to them, and that's showing the rising value of the sport. It's quite interesting that the games are being licensed by the traditional #lineartv player from an #ottplatform When I first saw the article, I thought it would be the other way round and the OTT would be licensing from linear. DAZN made an early deal, an investment if you like, on women's football, and that's paying off, so much so that big linear players are looking to take the sport on traditional tv. It shows a model for all formats, not just women's football or even sports, that if it can be successful on OTT platforms, or #FAST channels, then they can make their way onto linear channels, where there is greater reach and exposure. It can form part of the famous eco-system, where content can be a-b tested, or used as a teaser to push more subscriptions to a VOD platform. However, it could also work for linear TV, and #paytv especially for sport. "TNT Sports has licensed the rights from DAZN to co-broadcast one game per match week during the UEFA Women’s Champions League group stage as well as each quarter-final, semi-final, and the final itself. Under the same licence agreement with DAZN, TNT Sports will screen one game a week from the top flight leagues from, Division 1 Arkema (France), Liga F (Spain) as well as the Google Pixel Frauen Bundesliga (Germany). Coverage begins with the women’s El Clásico between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid CF from the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on November 19th." #livesports #livebroadcast #television #womensfootball #tvindustry #streamingplatforms #livetv #mediaindustry #tntsports https://lnkd.in/eqryx9Rk

By putting its women’s #football coverage in front of the paywall, DAZN hopes to boost exposure and viewership, which is key at this stage of #womensfootball development. Read Daniel Harraghy's Quick Take via the link below: https://hubs.ly/Q02gVdy20
