How Verizon's Deal With the NFL Affects the Sports Industry
Verizon’s new five-year deal with the NFL means anyone can watch NFL games on mobile, for free.
Paul Kelly, chief revenue officer at Whistle Sports joined Cheddar to explain how the deal will let the league monetize both mobile and linear television, while leveraging more than just live sports content.
“Moving forward I think it’s going to give more opportunity to create visual content around sports for the mobile screen,” he said.
Kelly noted that the deal has perks for both the NFL and Verizon overall. On the Verizon front, this can be a sign that the company will be moving into the OTT business.
“How that works with the Yahoo, Oath portfolio, and go90 is up to debate and interpretation,” he added.
