| Good morning! It’s Tuesday, August 27, and this is your monthly Cynopsis sports newsletter.
FUBO’S CINDERELLA STORY
Fubo’s bid to halt the launch of Venu Sports was approved by the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York. The Disney, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery JV was set to launch in August ahead of the college football and NFL seasons, but now the trio will have to wait as Judge Margaret M. Garnett ruled Fubo was likely to succeed in proving the JV would violate antitrust laws. Garnett issued an order Monday for a pretrial conference in New York to be held on September 12. Disney, WBD and Fox jointly filed to appeal the ruling.
“This decision will help ensure that consumers have access to a more competitive marketplace with multiple sports streaming options,” Fubo co-founder/CEO David Gandler said. “Fubo has said all along that we seek equal treatment from these media giants, and a level playing field in our industry. The proposed joint venture was only the latest example of anticompetitive practices that The Walt Disney Company, FOX Corp. and Warner Bros. Discovery have consistently engaged in for many years. We believe these practices monopolize the market, stifle competition and cheat consumers from deserved choice.”
Fubo said it’ll move forward with the lawsuit for antitrust practices, alleging that the JV’s partners have engaged in a years-long campaign to block Fubo’s business. Disney, Fox and WBD have filed a motion seeking an expedited process in the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, maintaining that “time is of the essence” and that Garnett’s decision contained “multiple legal errors” to be addressed.
COMMENTATORS READY TO GO IN CFB, NASCAR
Football fever is in the air as ESPN’s “College GameDay” went across the pond to Dublin, Ireland, for the show’s first-ever international edition ahead of No. 10 Florida State vs Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets’ dramatic 24-21 win set the stage for yet another year in college football and the second season after the massive shakeup in the world of college football media rights.
ESPN will run it back with Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit and Holly Rowe as the team to call marquee matchups on ABC. It’ll be Fowler and Herbstreit’s 11th year in the booth for Saturday night primetime games. Sean McDonough, Greg McElroy and Molly McGrath will be another top ABC/ESPN team for a second season. Following that crew is Joe Tessitore, Jesse Palmer and Katie George.
NBC Sports will have over 30 Big Ten and Notre Dame Football games this season across NBC and Peacock, with the streamer having 10 games exclusively. Noah Eagle will handle play-by-play duties for NBC Sports’ Big Ten primetime games alongside analyst Todd Blackledge and sideline reporter Kathryn Tappen. Dan Hicks, Jason Garrett and Zora Stephenson will be at the frontline of Notre Dame’s broadcasts. Paul Burmeister will return for another season calling Big Ten football games throughout the year. He’ll be accompanied by the recently retired NFL QB Colt McCoy in addition to Jac Collinsworth, Andrew Siciliano, Brendan Burke, Kyle Rudolph and Caroline Pineda.
Brad Nessler, Gary Danielson and Jenny Dell will handle the marquee matchups for CBS’ Big Ten games. They’ll be featured every Saturday in CBS’ 3:30pm ET timeslot as well as the Big Ten Championship on Dec. 7 at 8pm. Rich Waltz, Ross Tucker and Tiffany Blackmon will have select Mountain West and service academy games.
As college football kicks off, NASCAR has had its engines rolling for several months now. NBC Sports has taken over broadcasting duties for the Cup Series, naming veteran motorsports commentator Leigh Diffey as the lead play-by-play voice for NASCAR Cup Series coverage. Diffey was the lead NBC Sports INDYCAR commentator for over 10 years and has experience covering nearly every major motorsport series including Formula One, IMSA, MotoGP and Supercross.
NETFLIX’S CHRISTMAS DELIGHT
Netflix is going with CBS Sports to produce its two Christmas Day NFL games. It’s a one-year deal and it doesn’t include on-air talent, but that’ll be announced at a later date. It’ll be the first time Netflix aired a football game. The Steelers and Chiefs will get the day’s festivities underway before the Ravens vs Texans take the late afternoon game. |

| MEDIA RIGHTS
MLB inked a multi-year deal with Spanish-language media company TelevisaUnivision. TelevisaUnivision will debut “MLB En Vivo” as part of the deal, which will have live look-ins, highlights and recaps of up to 15 games every Tuesday throughout the rest of the regular season. The show will air on UniMás from 9-11pm ET. TelevisaUnivision will also produce “MLB Esta Semana” during the regular season, which will serve as an MLB-focused show airing on UniMás in the US and TUDN in Mexico every Saturday at 3pm. Additionally, TelevisaUnivision scored the U.S. Spanish-language broadcast rights to the 2024 ALDS and ALCS. Those contests will be on UniMás and simulcast on TUDN, with select games on Univision.
“Major League Baseball is truly excited for the launch of this new partnership, as it provides a valuable opportunity to increase exposure for our great game across the formidable reach of TelevisaUnivision’s unmatched domestic platform,” said Kenny Gersh, EVP, Media and Business for MLB. “Communicating authentically with our robust Spanish-speaking fanbase is a priority for Baseball and this partnership will allow us to connect them more directly to our brand, our clubs, and the growing number of dynamic Latino stars represented in the game today.”
FloSports expanded its deal with the Gulf South Conference. FloSports will now carry GSC soccer, baseball, softball and women’s lacrosse. The four added sports will have regular-season and postseason events streamed on FloSports and covered across digital media channels. Over 1,300 GSC sporting events will be streamed each year now. The two are in the second year of a five-year agreement signed in 2023.
FloSports kept it rolling with USA Wrestling as the two extended their media rights partnership by four years. FloWrestling will have exclusive access to over 160 live events in addition to coverage of other events through 2028. Included in the deal are USA Wrestling’s national and regional events such as Final X, the U.S. Open, the Junior/16U Nationals and the Senior Nationals.
DON’T FORGET BASKETBALL
Is it too early to think about basketball season? ESPN Events unveiled the matchups for 11 of its owned-and-operated partnered events during the 2024-25 men’s and women’s basketball seasons. ESPN platforms will carry over 120 hours of programming for the tournaments that’ll feature 52 teams in total. The Ally Tipoff will lead with defending NCAA women’s champion South Carolina taking on NC State on Nov. 10 at 3pm on ESPN. Virginia Tech vs Iowa follows at 5:30pm on ESPN. On Nov. 12, the State Farm Champions Classic (men’s) will feature Kansas vs Michigan State (6:30pm on ESPN) and Kentucky vs Duke (9pm on ESPN). Other highlights include Duke vs Kansas in the Vegas on Nov. 26 at 9pm on ESPN, the Jimmy V Men’s Classic on Dec. 10 and 15 and Jumpman Invitational (men’s and women’s) on Dec. 17 and 18.
Duke’s Cooper Flagg may be a freshman, but he’s already got himself a shoe endorsement deal. The top prospect in the 2025 NBA Draft got the partnership underway with a video that sees Flagg holding a newspaper with the headline “Cooper Flagg, The Intelligence Choice.” “I grew up wearing New Balance, and I appreciate their authentic connection to my community,” Flagg said. “The focus and growth of the brand in basketball and our shared values and history drew me in. From day one, it was clear that this would be a family-like partnership. I’m so excited to join this family and help them grow the category with young athletes.”
Iowa is set to meet Washington State in the Quad Cities Hoops Showdown. The game will take place at Vibrant Arena in Moline, Illinois, and is set for Nov. 15 (time TBD). The two teams have met just once, in 1963.
RSN MERRY-GO-ROUND
The Portland Trail Blazers are leaving ROOT Sports Northwest this upcoming season. The team has yet to finalize a local/regional home for the 2024-25 season. “An exciting announcement on the future television home of Blazers basketball will be made soon,” the team said in a statement.” The Blazers’ deal with ROOT Sports was set to expire after the upcoming season.
While Diamond Sports is still searching for financial security, it’s still striking plenty of rights agreements. The company agreed to deals for 22 teams across the NBA and NHL for the 2024-25 season, but also cut ties with the Dallas Mavericks in a cost-saving move. The good news was overshadowed by Amazon reportedly pulling its $115 million cash infusion into Diamond Sports. Furthermore, Diamond Sports’ viability beyond 2025 is still up in the air as the company officially moves through bankruptcy proceedings.
ROKU RUNNING FAST WITH SPORTS CHANNEL
Roku is rolling out a new FAST channel dedicated to sports. Dubbed the Roku Sports Channel, it’ll have popular sports programming from which Roku owns and licenses. That includes MLB games with “MLB Sunday Leadoff,” “The Rich Eisen Show,” “GMFB: Overtime” and live races from Formula E.
“We continue to see audiences enjoy the familiar, lean-back experience FAST offers, especially with sports. Sports is one of our most popular channel genres on The Roku Channel, which makes us so excited to make it even easier for audiences to jump into Roku’s standout programming,” said Joe Franzetta, Head of Sports for Roku Media.
NO AUDIBLES FOR OMAHA PRODUCTIONS
You’ve seen the hit “Monday Night Football” simulcasts featuring Peyton and Eli Manning. There’s “Quarterback” on Netflix and documentaries touching on some of sports’ iconic moments and figures. But the company behind all that was born from a phrase Manning used to change up a play: “Omaha.”
Omaha Productions, the media company created by Super Bowl-winning QB Peyton Manning, has become more of a known name since its inception in 2020. It’s helped create content that’s gone on to firmly plant itself in the cultural zeitgeist. Cynopsis Sports spoke with Head of People Ashley Braband, who’s one of the company’s first employees and been with Omaha since Day 1.
Omaha Productions has ascended rapidly since its creation a few years ago. What have been the organizational keys to making sure the company not only grows but continues to improve its quality?
I think what’s special about Omaha is that we’re all really united behind our mission to create content that uplifts and unifies. From day one, we’ve been very intentional about bringing in folks that truly embody that ethos; our unofficial motto is, “Work hard and be nice to people.” To remind ourselves of that every day, we framed that quote and put it next to the entryway in our office. And that focus on hard work and the importance of relationships is passed down directly from our leadership. Peyton and Jamie are the hardest-working people I’ve ever had the pleasure of learning from. No one puts more into this company than they do, and frankly, it’s rather inspiring.
Does it help that our other employees are wildly talented and remarkably passionate? Of course, it does! But I think it’s our collective dedication to really working together as a cohesive team that has enabled us to grow and improve so rapidly.
For someone who’s been there from the start, what has the journey of being part of a new company taught you?
How incredibly fast things can grow! And how much really goes into building a company. Many of us came from previous experience at big networks, where everything is already well established. When you’re building something from the ground up, you get a crash course in understanding exactly how much work it takes. Luckily, Peter Chernin and the team at North Road provided invaluable guidance in that regard.
But one thing I could never have predicted is how quickly you need to be able to pivot. For example, when we launched the ManningCast in September of 2021, we were pleasantly surprised by the amount of social buzz it generated, and we figured we needed to bring in someone who really knew the social space. So we recruited Kristen Herlihy from Fox Sports, who is incredibly creative and really understands the digital world. But a month or so into her tenure, we launched the Branded Content side of our business – and it was clear from the start that Kristen would be the best person to run it. So about 6 weeks in, her job title and role completely changed! And we’ve seen that story repeat itself for many of our employees, myself included.
One of the benefits of being a small group is that you really get to learn each other’s superpowers, and one of the truly amazing things about Omaha is that our leadership is willing to embrace that. Peyton and Jamie have given our folks the opportunity to succeed in areas where they have natural talent but may not necessarily have established experience. That’s how you see someone like Ben Brown, who was a junior agent at CAA, grow into the leader of our Scripted business within a year. (And he has already sold projects that are now in production!) Hard work, belief in your talent, and adaptability can lead to some amazing results.
What roadblocks did you/Omaha encounter in its early days, and how did the company overcome them?
The company launched in December of 2020 and within 6 months was already producing 40 hours of content – across Abby’s Places, Eli’s Places, Peyton’s Places, and Rowdy’s Places. When I joined the team in June, I got to see firsthand how much Omaha benefited from the incredible teamwork and partnership of NFL Films. The strong leadership of people like Ross Ketover and Neil Zender helped Omaha generate some early successes, which opened the door to even more opportunities.
We were so eager to prove ourselves and keep the momentum going that we didn’t want to say no to a single project. But at the same time, we were trying to establish the building blocks of our company. So we were really constructing the plane while flying it!
Hiring became a crucial part of trying to keep up with our growth, and the team we put together is incredible. Everyone dove in head first, working their butts off to ensure we could continue to produce premium content at an accelerated pace.
Considering the well-regarded productions Omaha has been involved with, such as the ManningCast and “Quarterback,” in your view, what’s to come?
Peyton has admitted it’s a bit of a cheesy football cliché, but with Omaha, we wanted to start by throwing little completions, then bigger completions, and then maybe eventually a touchdown. Luckily that model worked for us, and we’ve had some pretty successful projects that have made us very proud internally.
But even as Omaha continues to grow, we find that it’s more important than ever to hold onto our core values: to create content that uplifts and unifies. Whether that’s in branded content, the audio space, unscripted or scripted, you can see that in everything we do. We make content that celebrates – and we hope we can continue to do that in various places.
When we first launched, we focused on sports (naturally). But in the last year or so we’ve expanded beyond sports to push our values into other areas. We did a military show called “Beyond the Battlefield” with History, we’re working on a country music show with Luke Bryan for Hulu, and we sold a movie (an actual movie!) to Amazon. And we want to keep going, to expand even further into other areas that can inspire people.
But in the meantime, we’re going to keep growing as an organization, and we want to let our culture guide us. Work hard and be nice to people. Focus on executing each little completion. We have a strong team that is well-prepared to tackle whatever challenges lay down the road, and I’m excited to see what comes next!

That’s up a whopping 82% from the 16.9 million recorded in the Tokyo Olympics, according to fast national data from Nielsen and Adobe Analytics. Peacock recorded 23.5 billion minutes of streamed Paris Olympics coverage—up 40% from all prior Summer and Winter Olympics combined (16.8 billion minutes).

Among the top-rated events include the U.S. men’s basketball team’s Gold Medal win over France, which averaged 19.5 million viewers on NBC and Peacock and became the most-watched Gold Medal game since the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. The game peaked at 22.7 million viewers.
“America was ready for this Olympics, and our NBCU team was excited to bring it home,” said Molly Solomon, EP & President, NBC Olympics Production. “From the day we began planning the production, we were passionate about finding the perfect mix of storytelling and innovation, while showcasing the competition, the athletes, and Paris in the most comprehensive way possible. We were honored to present the Paris Olympics, and look forward to continuing to serve the dedicated fans and viewers for many Olympic Games to come.”
The Premier League has kicked off, and NBC Sports recorded the most-watched opening weekend on record in the U.S., according to Nielsen and Adobe Analytics.

The Seattle Storm and Indiana Fever set the record for most-viewed WNBA game on ABC ever. The game had 2.2 million viewers, which is the second most-viewed WNBA game across ESPN platforms. “WNBA Countdown” had its largest audience for a regular or postseason game ever with 1.1 million viewers. The WNBA on ESPN nets were averaging 1.3 million viewers as of Aug. 20, which is up 186% compared to the full regular-season average in 2023.
This year’s MLB Little League Classic was the most-watched iteration of the event ever.

This year’s broadcast peaked with 2.37 million viewers during the 9:30pm ET window. Next year’s Little League Classic will feature the New York Mets and Seattle Mariners on Aug. 17 at 7pm.

Spain’s top-flight soccer division La Liga is introducing a new membership club for fans in North America. The league is teaming up with AnyRoad Lifetime Loyalty to create LL12: The La Liga Club, which offers fans exclusive merchandise, game-day experiences and members-only events and content.
“Lifetime Loyalty is all about empowering sports organizations and global consumer brands to power more meaningful engagement with their top customers and superfans,” said Jonathan Yaffe, co-founder/CEO of AnyRoad. “LALIGA has some of the highest fan engagement we’ve ever seen for a sports league, and this creates a great opportunity to bring the community together, engage these fans more deeply, and build a powerful and unique global fan experience.”
ACE MARKS THE SPOT
A hole-in-one is any golfer’s dream, but KemperSports is sweetening the pie. The company launched a Hole-in-One Promotion to give 100 golfers a chance to win a trip to Streamsong Golf Resort in Bowling Green, Florida. It’s for guests who register at any KemperSports-owned or -managed property across the U.S. or online through Oct. 31. If a player makes a hole-in-one during their round, they’ll receive a certificate for a complimentary one-night stay and one round of golf at any of Streamsong’s courses.
PLAY BALL!
Backyard Sports is making a triumphant return. After nearly a decade of dormancy, video game developer Playground Productions announced that Backyard Baseball would indeed be coming back for fans and Pablo Sanchez enthusiasts. The company unveiled a 42-second trailer that amassed over 1.7 million views on X, but it’s not just stopping at baseball. Other Backyard Sports games are in the works, though a timeline is still to be determined. Backyard Sports originally began in 1997 under Humongous Entertainment.
DOING GOOD
The MLB-MLBPA Youth Development Foundation pledged a $2 million grant to go toward the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. The money will be used for the museum’s $30 million capital campaign to build a new 30,000-square-foot facility in Kansas City, Missouri. The new property will allow NLBM to use more advanced technology to help further tell the story of the Negro Leagues and its players. It’ll be built adjacent to the Buck O’Neil Foundation and Research Center, which will be located in the former Paseo YMCA where Andrew “Rube” Foster and team owners established the Negro Leagues in 1920.
