Once a year, S&P Global Market Intelligence Kagan analysts issue their major Sports Report, delving into the business of sports media. In tandem with that report, the analysts hold an hour-long webinar to answer a wide range of questions, including why sports rights remain critical for TV networks, pay-tv operators and streamers, and what the future of the local sports rights business will look like.

In this week's "MediaTalk," join Mike Reynolds and a panel of experts as they delve into the intricacies of the sports media landscape in the wake of S&P Global's recent webinar, "Moneyball: The Impact of Sports Media Rights on the US Video Market." The episode explores the escalating costs of sports media rights, the challenges faced by RSNs and the shift back toward traditional broadcasters and streaming services. With projections indicating a significant rise in media rights spending, the panel addresses the implications for fans navigating a fragmented viewing experience.
