[Brève] Toulouse. Numérique : le TFC veut booster sa billetterie - MGB Mag. Movistar+ adds Mediapro’s Serie A and Ligue 1 rights. Getty Images Spanish over-the-top (OTT) streaming service Movistar+ has confirmed the purchase of soccer rights to Italy’s Serie A and France’s Ligue 1.
The Telefónica-owned platform will take over the rights for the rest of the current season and will continue into the 2019/20 campaign. Matches were previously hosted on BeIN Connect and Gol, two streaming platforms owned by Mediapro.

Report: Canal+ negotiating BeIN Sports takeover. Getty Images Qatar-based sports broadcaster BeIN Sports has been linked to a potential acquisition by French network Canal+, according to a report by French news channel Europe1.
A prospective deal could apparently come as soon as this summer, and would effectively expand Canal’s domestic subscriber base by a further 3.5 million customers. Canal’s parent company Vivendi reported last week that the pay-TV broadcaster has maintained stable revenues, despite a fall in its France-based subscribers. The broadcaster has, however, seen its international audience expand by 883,000 subscribers to more than 7.8 million during 2018, according to Vivendi’s latest quarterly earnings.
To compliment this growth, Canal+ recently added international broadcast rights to its domestic coverage of the Top 14, the top flight of French rugby union.

Uefa to launch OTT platform in the next six months. Getty Images Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin has revealed that European soccer’s governing body will launch its own over-the-top (OTT) streaming platform in the next six months.
Speaking after his re-election for a new four-year term as Uefa boss, Ceferin confirmed that the service will initially show women’s and youth soccer matches, as well archive content and behind-the-scenes footage from matches. However, the Uefa Champions League is unlikely to be available on the platform until 2021 at the earliest given the governing body’s existing contracts with broadcasters around the world. “By putting respect, hope and solidarity at the heart of our strategy, we will make football more accessible for fans, all fans across the planet,” said Ceferin, speaking at Uefa’s annual congress in Rome.

It makes it possible for the LED perimeter boards at a stadium to display data-driven player graphics. The system, which pairs ChyronHego’s optical tracking system Tracab with its Click Effects Prime graphics authoring system, has so far been put into play at football matches in Denmark and Holland. The matches were the UEFA Nations League match between Denmark and Republic of Ireland and Heracles Almelo versus VVV-Venlo in the Netherlands’ Eredivisie league. ChyronHego worked with the teams and their sponsors to create a “first-of-its-kind LED perimeter-board display”.
This graphically tracks a player’s movements and displays stats such as speed and distance travelled, based on real-time Tracab data. Liverpool CEO fears losing millennial fans to video games. Getty Images Peter Moore, the chief executive of Premier League leaders Liverpool, has admitted that soccer must embrace new technologies to avoid losing younger fans to things like video games.

The 64-year-old fears that younger fans are no longer happy to sit and watch full 90-minute games, and pointed to viewing and attendance figures of millennial males as a particular cause for concern. “90 minutes is a long time for a millennial male to sit down on a couch,” Moore told the Arabian Business magazine. “When I look at viewing and attendance figures of millennial males, I’m concerned as a chief executive of a football club that relies on the next generation of fans coming through.

Twitter and NBA game streaming deal is about connecting with cord-cutters and younger fans. Twitter is already working with the NBA to stream video of pre-game warm-ups, in-game and post-game highlights and post-game behind-the-scenes content.
Now, the company will for the first time ever stream live NBA action — with a twist. In partnership with the NBA, Twitter will introduce an alternate camera angle view during the second half of the live game, one that’s focused on a single player. That’s right: NBA fans on Twitter won’t get to hear commentary, or watch the full game — the stream will only go live in the second half.
And they’re not watching the full game action — the stream will be focused on a single player in an isolated camera view. That may sound like those watching Twitter are getting short-changed, but that is not the full story, according to Adam Silver, the commissioner of the NBA who spoke about the deal today onstage at CES in Las Vegas alongside Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. “There are a lot of people out there who may not be accessing our games,” said Silver.

New UnitedMasters deal will enable its artists get play across NBA properties. UnitedMasters came out of stealth about a year ago with a plan to help artists have a more direct relationship with their customers and fans and, more importantly, retain more control over their actual recordings. With $70MM from Alphabet, A16z, Floodgate and 20th Century Fox — as well as founder Steve Stoute, the former President of Interscope Records, the promises are big but the team seems up to the task. Now, they’re ready to announce their first big partnership: The NBA. With this launch, UnitedMasters artists will be able to have their music played across all of their properties around the world including digital properties like NBA.com and its apps. “We’ve seen that there are a lot of synergies between the music industry, sports leagues, and individual personalities across athletes and musicians,” says Steve Stoute, founder and CEO of UnitedMasters .

NBA 2.0 : Du Basketball Smart à l’ère du BIG DATA. VIEWPOINT: Sports Ticketing – A failed (and failing) market - TheTicketingBusiness News. The sports ticketing market is estimated to be worth US$45bn annually, but the current business ecosystem means a lot of that value is slipping away from the primary rightholders who create the entertainment, says Vienna-based mobile ticketing distribution specialists Keyper.
What are the reasons for these lost revenues? Fans want to share tickets At present, there is no adequate widespread technology that allows fans to distribute their own tickets, with the club retaining control of the pricing and the data. Fans have a problem when they can’t get to every game. The secondary market promises a solution, but it’s only for the top clubs and the sold-out games, but not for the 90% of the rest.
