With Ligue 1 and Serie A failing to secure international rights deals, two of Europe’s ‘big five’ leagues are foregoing traditional broadcast and opting for streaming. StreamTime Sports co-hosts Nick Meacham and Chris Stone discuss whether or not an OTT platform is a viable option for sports leagues or if it's simply the last resort of a desperate business. There’s also an RSN update and a preview of some of the changing conversations set to take place at SportsPro Madrid. Talking points: What market factors have prevented Ligue 1 and Serie A from finding a traditional broadcast deal? What are the pros and cons of going direct to consumer?
