As the traditional RSN model began to fray, several franchises are betting themselves and taking control of their local media rights and fan relationships. Leaders from MLB, NBA, and NHL teams who made the leap to launch their own RSN, DTC streaming service, or OTA broadcast partnership discuss what it takes to build a media operation from the ground up, the lessons learned along the way, and whether team-owned and -operated distribution is the future of local sports media.
Panelists:
Steve Rangel, ProAngle Media, Co-Founder and COO; Angels Broadcast TV Consultant
Gabe Sauerhoff, Monumental Sports and Entertainment, SVP, Head of New Ventures and Business Development
Ryan Schaber, Seattle Kraken, VP, Broadcast
Angie Swint, Texas Rangers, SVP, Broadcasting and Rangers Sports Network, Executive Producer
