Sport broadcasting in 2022 and beyond

A session from the Broadcast Sport Leaders Forum, which took place at the BFI Southbank on 1 November 2022. Channel 4 head of sport Pete Andrews, Sky Sports commercial director Yath Gangakumaran, and BBC Sport head of radio and digital Ben Gallop discuss the most significant issues impacting sports broadcasting in 2022 and beyond. The landscape is changing, with traditional broadcasters facing increased competition from streaming platforms who could battle it out to secure the biggest, most popular sports rights. Meanwhile, the forthcoming joint venture between Discovery and BT Sport creates a huge new sports broadcaster with existing rights across a plethora of different sports, including significant top-tier Premier League and Champions League football rights.
