🌟 Thrilled to see the impact JAMX.AI is making! 🌟 When we started JAMX.AI, our mission was clear: empower publishers and podcasters to grow, connect, and monetize in ways that truly move the needle. Hearing feedback like this from Ben Koo, CEO & EIC of Comeback Media, validates why we do what we do: “The JamX player has allowed us to introduce our portfolio of podcasts to our large readership and has significantly accelerated our listenership. The benefits to our business are very notable as the player itself, the added listenership, and the increased time spent on our site, all help us increase monetization. From a publisher perspective, this has been a great solution for us.” Podcasts are more than just content—they’re an incredible medium for deep engagement and storytelling. By integrating audio seamlessly into their digital ecosystems, publishers like Comeback Media are not just reaching more people but are also creating richer user experiences and unlocking new revenue streams.

What's going to expedite growth of a sports property faster: Growing audiences through the power of athletes' social media vs the traditional coverage given by the major broadcasters? On top of big rights fees, it's the special sauce newer broadcast platforms can't fake. As sports properties, we need to build audiences and engagement between the live events if you stand a chance of growing audiences and fandom. Relying on live audiences alone is fools gold. So when sports properties like the WNBA are looking at how they grow the league, where do you put your bets and limited resources? In this day and age of the athlete economy playing such a powerful role, I'd be giving more support and rights to the athletes then be restricted by the models in place by traditional broadcasters limiting what you can and can't do with content. Let's stop defining fandom just by how many people watch a live game, and playing the same playbook we've been playing far too long to grow a sport.

Tricks To Play Ball With Streamers On Sports-Slanted Shows It’s an epic time for sports on TV and streamers are embracing sports in less traditional ways. Ever since television ratings became the driving force behind sports (more so than bringing fans to games), networks have been trying to get in on the action by creating shows that complement the main content aka “shoulder content.” And with the upcoming Paris Olympics, viewers are hungry for the competition, personal stories, and scandals. Sports tends to be a unifying topic and with the United States in an election year, viewers want a break from news. While some shows are being renewed, many are just now getting the go-ahead. Let’s take a look. Documentary series' reign supreme. 'Welcome to Wrexham' (FX + Hulu) and 'Coach Prime' (Amazon Prime) were both renewed for additional seasons while 'The Dynasty: New England Patriots' (Apple) was recently released. All of three of these have unprecedented access and showcase not only the trials and tribulations of life but of being on a team and even business ownership. All are relatable universal themes. Three new series will give an idea of what streamers are currently buying. 'Untitled Earnhardt Doc' is a bio-doc on the legendary NASCAR dynasty featuring extensive access and never-seen-before archival material. (KEYWORDS: access + new archival) 'Game 7' is a five-part anthology series that dives into the most historic playoff-deciding showdowns in sports history. The series will look at the New York Rangers’ 1994 Stanley Cup Finals triumph and the Chicago Cubs’ 2016 World Series victory among others. This type of series is more along the lines of ripped from the headlines, which is also selling like hotcakes. Combining sports with true crime is a fascinating take on two trending and hugely popular genres. 'ChiefsAholic: A Wolf in Chiefs Clothing' is just that. It’s a doc on the career of a serial bank robber and Kansas City Chiefs super-fan Xavier Babudar. This is a brilliant intersection. Reese Witherspoon’s prod co is in development on a doc series focusing on the female drivers of Formula 1’s F! Academy. It’s the female version of the popular Netflix series 'Formula 1 Drive to Survive.' It seems so obvious, right? There's also scripted: 'Ted Lasso' (Apple) had tongues wagging until it recently wrapped up. It was just announced that Will Ferrell will be starring in a new scripted series for Netflix called GOLF based on a fictional golf legend. Of course, Netflix would want to try to grab viewers looking for a Ted Lasso replacement. Will Ferrell would be a perfect transition from Jason Sudeikis. And there’s always film. Challengers is currently trending. TUBI is getting in on the action with a new film The QB Bad Boy & Me starring Noah Beck about a grieving football star and his dancing muse. If you’ve got a solid sports-adjacent pitch with either unprecedented access or never-seen-before archival, it's time to pitch it!

Is the future of live sports bringing the second screen to the main screen? With the National Football League (NFL) season kicking off, i’m intrigued to see this feature launch on YouTube Sunday Ticket later in the season. The “Fantasy View”. This allows fans to connect their Yahoo Fantasy accounts to YouTube allowing you to keep tabs on their teams without taking their eyes off the game. We are beginning to get deeper into the potentials of main broadcast interaction and personalised content. Imagine when you start seeing stats and live highlights options tailored to YOUR team! This shift isn’t just about entertainment; it’s about tapping into community habits and content consumption necessities. When fans feel in control and that they are shaping the content they consume, engagement skyrockets, watch times increase, and fan loyalty deepens. PS At Dizplai we’re pushing the boundaries of live media experiences, helping brands and broadcasters turn passive viewers into active communities.

I had to read this line a few times.... "Audio is a key part of the daily lives of all Americans, and this is true for sports fans, as well. In fact, sports fans spend six hours and 26 minutes with audio content each day—that’s over two hours more than the average American spends listening to audio." On first read I was trying to figure out how anybody has 6 hours and 26 minutes a day to consume sports content. Then eventually I understood this to mean that sports fans spend 6 hours and 26 minutes with ANY audio content. Essentially, sports fans are listening to music as well and have other interests beyond sports. But, being a sports fan skews your appetite for more audio consumption up. There is big opportunity here. But, there is also a lot of competition. #podcasting #sports #audio #radio
