This is great info and a well done chart, but I’m going to need someone smarter than me to decide what it means for MLB.
Interesting to see that baseball has a fairly balanced revenue stream.
This is great! Never knew how close they were to the NFL
Makes sense with NHL.. not a lot of people where I’m from watch hockey on tv (I do pretty often) but the crowds always look packed
3rd come on man
NHL? Never heard of it.
The collapse of regional networks and national TV decline is going to reshape a lot of smaller markets.
First up: St. Louis.
What category does merchandising fall in?
Which one does merch fall under?
They are pretty diversified. That’s good for the sport considering all the TV bankruptcy issues.
League sponsorship reveune should also be its own section, which is different/separate from team.
NFL is the most accessible league. Especially since most games land on everyone’s day off (Sunday).
Wo ist MLS?
What is the 1% of Local TV Media for the NFL?
Wonder how this compares to MLS. Looks like MLB will shift to a similar TV model.
I wonder how much tickets will take a hit with two teams playing in minor league stadiums this upcoming season.
It’s interesting to see MLB and NBA so neck-and-neck
Oh wow I didn’t realize how little the NFL needs local media. That would explain why RedZone is possible. And why we won’t see a “RedZone for baseball” anytime soon.
I feel like my individual 2024 World Series merch purchases should have cracked this graph.
Kind of shows how COVID hit the other leagues a little harder. The NFL gets so much TV money, that losing out on ticket sales for a year is just a small dent.
So baseball rips off local TV and NHL lacks a TV market?
No wonder they want to make their own game broadcast service. That’s another 20+% to collect directly instead of letting individual teams bank it across the various deals.
They make 23% from local TV/Media and yet they have local blackouts. What a ridiculous business model.
The gap in revenue between MLB and the NFL is much less than I thought. Based on how football absolutely dominates sports media coverage I would have thought it was more like 3 or 4:1 than 1.7:1
2024 MLB – Ohtani – 15%
They could halve prices on concessions & parking, and make up for it with increased ticket sales easily. Imagine if your local ballpark was *competitive* with local joints, or even offered better deals? People would pack the place. Fucking ridiculous.
What is the source for the information?
Wait, the NBA chart forgot to include the category of fixing games.
If they don’t figure out the distribution of their media and solve the blackout issue, they’re going to lose market share FAST.
