Question 1. A significant portion of televised sport has shifted from broadcast ("free") networks such as ABC, NBC and CBS, to cable networks over the past 10 years. For example, the Division-I women's basketball tournament was televised on a cable network (ESPN) and the men's Division-I basketball tournament was televised on both broadcast network (CBS) and cable networks (Tru TV, TBS and TNT). However, television viewing habits are rapidly changing.
What are three significant factors or trends in the media industry that will impact (positively or negatively) the current cable television-based model of sport telecasting?
