Scott Soshnick, Michael Barr and Eben Novy-Williams discuss the upcoming year in sports business on a special holiday edition of the Bloomberg Business of Sports podcast. The trio open with a look at the changing media landscape, with more sports moving digital and the looming sale of the 22 regional sports networks that the Walt Disney Co. has to unload as part of its upcoming merger with Twenty-First Century Fox. Also discussed is the host of ways in which sports betting will change consumption in 2019 -- from new in-game betting options to million-dollar data deals and advertising. The show closes on an interview with Scott Rochelle, the CEO of the National Basketball Retired Players Association and a discussion on athletes preparing for life after their careers end.
