Broadcasters Are Betting on Sports. This Forecast Chat Tells Us Why

0

From ponies to pigskins, big bets are being made on sports betting and sports-related opportunities by radio and television groups.


The reason is simple: sports wagering is the newest hot category for broadcast media. And, it continues to evolve and expand due to regulations increasingly relaxed over the past four years.

That’s why Forecast 2023 will feature a fast-paced, far-reaching interview featuring SeventySix Capital Managing Partner Wayne Kimmel, conducted by former CBS Radio CEO Dan Mason.

The conversation will cover a wide array of sports-related topics of key importance to radio and television broadcasting CEOs, managers and C-Suite leaders, including where various states stand on implementing sports betting, new revenue opportunities that don’t involve traditional spot advertising, what’s next in the world of sports betting and the companies poised to make all of this happen.

Also among the topics of discussion are the evolution of e-sports, investment opportunities in sports betting companies, and the importance of building relationships with those companies and with local casinos. Kimmel will share some fascinating glimpses of nail-biting, high-stakes business deals in which he’s been involved.

SeventySix Capital is a venture capital firm that invests in startup sports betting, e-sports, and sports tech companies.

“I am looking forward to sharing my thesis on how sports is now an asset class and why my team and I at SeventySix Capital are investing in the entrepreneurs who are creating innovative sports betting technology companies,” Kimmel said.

Mason added, “A discussion on sports betting is a big elephant to eat in a 45-minute session, but Wayne and I will highlight topics that will help those in the audience walk away with a solid understanding of what is around the corner.”
