Description
ESPN wrote the sports-TV playbook, and now it’s tearing it up. As audiences cut the cord and move among streaming, social, fantasy, and online betting, ESPN is banking on the future of sports looking less like a network and more like a personalized, interactive digital platform. This conversation explores the changing economics of sports media and how ESPN plans to stay at the center of the action as the business around it continues to evolve.
