“It's not going to be legal in every state, but it's legal,” said Gentile. The topic is there, and so is the anticipation, so while no one is betting on games yet, it's still on many talk shows from NFL Network to ESPN to every local sports radio station in the U.S. The media is taking advantage of the fact that while the court did make PASPA unconstitutional, there is still a need to legislate new policy to set up how sports gambling will actually be implemented. (Oh, silly caller, that’s not apples to apples.) “Now that it’s legal, how can he not be in the Hall of Fame?” a caller exclaimed to WFAN.
In a search of sports radio stations’ podcasts, I found segments talking about Pete Rose and his eligibility for the Hall of Fame. Now they can say, 'Hey, they're a 7-point favorite, and I think they'll cover,' without fear of getting slapped on the wrist like I did when I was on Good Morning America .” “Media people on TV don't have to say, 'I like them to win by two field goals and an extra point,' like my friend Lee Corso does on GameDay. Sheridan says broadcasters will be much more open than they are now. Would ESPN or FOX Sports 1 air handicapping shows? Sports radio stations already do NFL picks on Fridays.
One question that immediately came to mind was about programming other than play-by-play. I mean, clearly, 20 years from now, if there's still the same level of excitement once sports betting has been out in the open for a while, and people are used to it, but I think there's certainly going to be a bump because of the novelty.” It's exciting, it's different, it's novel. “The NFL certainly has other issues, but I think that people will get excited and want to participate more, tune in more. “I think that gambling and allowing sports betting is a game changer for the leagues and the teams. So I think that'll have to play out.”Ĭarla Varriale, an attorney at Havkins Rosenfeld Ritzert & Varriale LLP and a law professor in the sports business department at Columbia University, notes that the Supreme Court injected some life into the sports media world. There's no real league coming up for bid for a while. “The smart money suggests that this is going to be more of a boon for the media people, the networks, the broadcasters, I think, than the leagues,” Gentile said. If it’s legal, there is no telling what an iPhone or Android can do. That can be traced to growth in mobile technology that was allowing off-shore sports betting. There has also been research about a spike in NFL ratings back in the mid-2000s when mobile technology exploded. What saves TV subscribers? Live events, especially sports, are considered by many to be the media’s lifeline. Combined, the top cable companies lost about 405,000 net subscribers over the three-month period at the end of 2017, according to new data from Leichtman Research Group. The media is faced with challenges from technology all the time.
