Fox’s Streaming Play: A Strategic Move or a Hesitation? Fox Corporation is finally stepping into the subscription streaming game—but with a twist. Unlike its competitors, it’s not chasing exclusive sports rights or trying to replace cable. Instead, it’s leveraging its existing sports and news assets while keeping pricing "modest."

🎥 Nielsen Redefines TV Audience Measurement Nielsen has achieved a breakthrough by expanding out-of-home (OOH) TV viewing coverage to 100% of the contiguous U.S., up from 66% last year. This transformation is particularly crucial for sports and live event programming, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of how Americans consume media beyond traditional home viewing. The updated measurement, effective February 3, 2025, will provide advertisers and agencies unprecedented insights into viewing patterns, especially for high-stakes events like the Super Bowl, where communal viewing in bars, restaurants, and hotels significantly impacts audience reach. https://lnkd.in/eF6Kc9Uh

Venu's End is Just the Beginning: What Sports Streaming Consolidation Means for Advertisers The Walt Disney Company, Fox Corporation, and Warner Bros. Discovery decision to cancel Venu marks a strategic realignment revealing deeper industry dynamics. The shift from a joint streaming venture to The Walt Disney Company Fubo acquisition and planned ESPN Flagship launch demonstrates how quickly streaming is changing. But looking beyond the headlines, this reflects a crucial insight: the future of sports streaming may not be about creating new platforms but optimizing existing distribution channels. From our vantage point in attribution modeling, this consolidation could benefit advertisers. A more integrated approach through established platforms often leads to better measurement capabilities and clearer ROI tracking – which is especially critical in high-value sports content. The real question for brands: How will this consolidation affect your media mix optimization across traditional cable, streaming, and digital channels? The winners will be those who can effectively attribute value across this evolving ecosystem. https://lnkd.in/ewC6KJXi
