The future of sports broadcasting – Enhancing digital fan engagement [REPORT]
In a world where consumers are no longer tied to broadcast and cable schedules to catch their favorite shows, live sports are the exception. Sports is one of the few remaining content types/genres that fans will go out of their way to watch live.

Consumers are somewhat optimistic about holiday shopping this year with 86% telling us they will spend the same or more this holiday as they did in 2018. On average, they will spend $1,284 on gifts, travel and entertainment, a modest increase of 2.7% over last year.
The National Retail Federation said it expects holiday retail sales during November and December to increase between 3.8 percent and 4.2 percent over 2018 to a total of between $727.9 billion and $730.7 billion. The numbers, which exclude automobile dealers, gasoline stations and restaurants, compare with an average holiday sales increase of 3.7 percent over the previous five years.
