Leaders Broadcast Disruptors Audio Bulletin: Hardware, the metaverse, and more with Sky’s David Gibbs

Leaders Editor-at-large and Head of Content James Emmett and David Cushnan are joined by Sky’s Director of Product Management to discuss what’s going on and why it matters across the sports media industry.

The Leaders Broadcast Disruptors Audio Bulletin is a regular podcast for discussion, debate, and analysis around the latest developments in sports content production, distribution and monetisation.

On this episode, James Emmett and David Cushnan first consider some of the latest stories in the space, such as the new phase in the discussions around BT Sport: DAZN is out and Discovery is in; and UEFA’s decision to split its next cycle of club competition rights between incumbent TEAM Marketing and US newcomers Relevent Sports.

The pair are then joined by Dave Gibbs, Sky’s Director of Product Management – Group Content (Sports & News), Apps, Partner Content & Advertising.

On the agenda: the ‘streaming wars’ and how they benefit the customer; the Metaverse and how it will enhance the viewer experience; and the evolving role of UGC in sport and how it fits into Sky’s product strategy.
