Why ESPN College Extra Sucks (and Why You Need It!)

For years I have advocated that any operator that dares to refer to themselves as a sports bar has an inherent obligation to buy all the programming available via DIRECTV or their cable operator. I have been passionate and adamant that this is the way to build your business and prove to your guests that YOU ARE THE PLACE to watch sports. Well, this past week, my resolve has been sorely tested by a sports PPV package, ESPN College Extra (ESPNCX). ESPN College Extra is a hybrid of two previous stations — ESPN Game Plan and Full Court. The problem with this union is that College Extra has essentially thrown away the wheat and kept the chaff. For example, last week in 27 games delivered by ESPNCX, only three were between ranked teams. With NCAA Football, out of 140 games aired there was a grand total of two games with ranked [...]

Twitter to Live-Stream NFL; Yahoo! Gets the NHL, MLB & PGA

Sports Internet live-streaming has just become a little more mainstream with the NFL and NHL officially getting into the game. Twitter has won the rights to stream NFL games. The social media site will stream 10 Thursday night football games (the games will still be shown on NBC, CBS, NFLN) during the 2016 season. No word on how Twitter will be integrating the feature but it's been speculated that it could fit under the site's Moments feature. The NFL is using Thursday night games, which draws a smaller audience, as it's guinea pig to see how digital distribution works. Things could get interesting in 2021 when the NFL's current broadcast contracts expire. Similarly, the NHL and Yahoo! recently announced a partnership to live-stream NHL games for free and with no subscription required. The partnership allows Yahoo! to air up to four NHL games a week. [...]

Yankee Sports Bars, Fans Won’t See Opening Day

At 1:05 pm, Monday afternoon, April 4, 2016, Masahiro Tanaka will throw the first pitch of the New York Yankees’  2016 season. And if you live in the New York area outside of NYC, you probably won’t be able to watch the game on TV.   The Yankees and Astros aren’t the only contest that day. YES (Yankees Entertainment Sports Network) and Comcast are currently locked in a carriage dispute. A carriage dispute is a disagreement over the right to “carry" a broadcaster's signal. Carriage disputes are usually about money (duh), and can end up as drag-out public relations battles.     Don’t want to be a hostage in a PR battle? Cut the cord. Online offerings, which sidestep broadcast and cable entirely, give fans (and sports bars) new choices. While the sports streaming offerings haven’t reached the level of a Netflix or [...]

This Weekend in Sports TV: February 6, 2016

Super Bowl 50 is this week and that means the weekend sports schedule is fairly horrible. Nobody wants to compete with a game that draws 100 million sets of eyes. That being said, there are some quality items that you can use to build other parts of your guest following. UFC Fight Night Let’s start with the free UFC event on Saturday at 8pm ET on FS1(219). The main event features Johny Hendricks vs Stephen Thompson. Both are contenders fighting for a shot at the 170lbs Title. Free events like these are the foundation you need to build upon to justify your investment in the UFC PPV schedule. Add to these programming like The Ultimate Fighter and you can prove to your guests that you get MMA and UFC right. NCAA Basketball Heats Up The NCAA Basketball schedule is fairly light this weekend [...]
