Thanks for all your support! Looking forward to an even better year next year. With our new Chief Brand and Communications Officer, I hope the MWDN is even more robust and hopefully get on OTT devices like Roku and Apple TV.
Interesting post the 1,860.2 viewers per event is nice.
Would have to think AAC being in bigger markets and larger population would be able to get a decent amount more viewers as opposed to MWC having some smaller home cities and states.
Gives me hope for the next AAC deal, Aresco has already said they will/have been talking to streaming services(Hulu/Netflix/Amazon) about covering their Tier 3 rights that ESPN has been relegating to Watch ESPN 3 App.
Well....we shall see. I'm surprised that the AAC doesn't put any effort into the digital side for all the sports on shown on TV.
The MW done some innovative things and one of those was developing the MW Digital Network as a replacement for the Mtn. It has done that and more.
The MAC sold all the digital rights to ESPN for a bigger media payday.
CUSA and the Sunbelt don't have the resources to really get behind it although it doesn't really take much to get started at least and get better over time.
The AAC, not sure why even the past couple of years or the upcoming years there is not an effort to own and develop a digital network rather than depend on others for that platform.
The PAC-12, Big 10 and the ACC have robust digital networks...not sure about the SEC as much.
