A Look at Sports TV Contracts

Ran across this in last week's Sports Business Journal so I thought I'd share. It's TV deals by year on US networks. It's in dollars and I'm leaving the zeros.

Here's more detail:

CBS Online Coverage

CBS has done a pretty good job with there online live streaming coverage of the NCAA Men's Basketball coverage. But, as usual, I want more. That next revolution in sports viewing is still coming and it's not 3D (sorry Dubious Quality).The change will be in choosing what is on our TV screens within the realm of the game you are watching.

CBS is using 'boxes', but I think allowing the viewer to choose what is coming through on top of the broadcast is the future. Want a "clean feed"? Choose it. Want the leading scorers layered on top of the full screen action? Done.

It's getting there.
