Message: [QUOTE="Drew, post: 2177762, member: 3723"] Found this on the "American Power" presentation released by the conference today and thought this was interesting regarding AAC TV deals going forward: [URL]http://sidearm.sites.s3.amazonaws.com/theamerican.sidearmsports.com/documents/2017/5/1/AACStrategyGuide_WEB_FINAL.pdf?id=1374[/URL] The "Multimedia" slide on page 16 of the PowerPoint presentation contains something I found interesting: 4.37: "Explore putting the American Digital Network exclusively on a prominent over-the-top offering as a precursor to a broader future arrangement involving live football and basketball games" Is this a sign of things to come with the next "tv" rights deal? Instead of being plugged into cable or satellite is the AAC going to explore a solely OTT option for its sports content? This would be an incredible mistake in my opinion. Then there is this on page 18: 5.02: "Identify competition for our rights by evaluating traditional media platforms and staying attuned to the latest trends and emerging media platforms in order to prepare ourselves prior to entering the marketplace" 5.03: "Visit regularly with prominent digital and technology companies in order to understand their future content and distribution strategies as it relates to live and pre-packaged sports content" 5.04: "Monitor the media marketplace and embrace new, emerging technologies that will differentiate the Conference from its peers and help it reach new fans" [/QUOTE]
