More reach does not guarantee more revenue. Our Global Sports Survey shows a 30–40% drop in willingness to pay beyond live. D. Dellea, M. Del Percio, and C. Sommer explain what rights owners should rethink ↓ altsl.co/4t2J0KN #SportsMedia #GlobalSportsSurvey #AltmanSolon

We often ask where AI can be applied in cybersecurity. The more useful question is where it cannot, and that is where resilience sits. → B. Matthews, G. Ogilby, A. Jinivizian, and S. Rangoonwala explore this shift: altsl.co/4t4C0Ny #Cybersecurity #AI #AltmanSolon

Reach is growing, but value capture is harder. Younger fans spend ~3x more time on non-live vs. live as streaming fragments audiences. See insights from our 7th Global Sports Survey: altsl.co/4s3WXHm #SportsMedia #SportsBusiness #AltmanSolon
