PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL WIRED AND WIRELESS PAID ERA... FREE UNTIL APRIL, 5,500 WON PER MONTH FROM MAY
KBO signs 3-year contract with CJ ENM worth 135 billion won... Free use of game videos on social media.
The era of watching professional baseball for free through the Internet, smartphones, tablet PCs, and other wired and wireless devices is coming to an end, and the paid era is coming to an end.
The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO), which oversees professional baseball, signed a three-year contract with CJ ENM for wired and wireless broadcasting rights for the KBO League from 2024 to 2026, and will broadcast wired and wireless broadcasts through TVING, CJ ENM's video streaming (OTT) service, starting this year.
It was announced on the 4th that the broadcast would be conducted. 카지노사이트위키
The contract size is a total of KRW 135 billion over 3 years (annual average of KRW 45 billion), the largest in domestic professional sports history, and the average annual amount has more than doubled compared to the previous contract (KRW 110 billion over 5 years, annual average of KRW 22 billion).
With this contract, CJ ENM holds the exclusive right to broadcast domestic wired and wireless broadcasts and resell broadcasting rights for all KBO League games for three years.
Last May, the KBO Secretariat selected CJ ENM as the preferred negotiating partner for wired and wireless broadcasting rights and reached a final agreement after 50 days of negotiations.
When the existing telecommunications and portal alliance held wired and wireless broadcasting rights, professional baseball viewers could watch games for free on the Internet and smartphones.
However, starting this year, you will have to pay to watch professional baseball games.
Pay-per-view viewing of professional sports content has become a global trend that can no longer be resisted.
CJ ENM is holding a special event where users who have signed up for the TVing service can watch the KBO League for free from the regular season opening game on the 23rd to April 30th, including the exhibition game opening on the 9th.
Starting in May, when the free event period ends, you must purchase a Tving ticket to watch all regular league and postseason games.
The KBO Secretariat can enjoy all KBO league games with a resolution of over 1,080 pixels at the lowest price of 5,500 won per month through TVING's advertising-based standard plan, which will be released on the 4th, and can also view more than 160,000 various contents owned by TVING.
It was introduced that there was.
CJ ENM plans to directly produce exhibition games that are not produced by TV broadcasters and broadcast them through Tving.
Services such as full game replay, full game highlights, video on demand (VOD), and text graphic broadcasting, excluding live broadcast services, are provided by Tving.
All provided free of charge.
Instead of paying to watch professional baseball, the range of use of professional baseball content has become much wider.
The KBO Secretariat explained that any fan who loves baseball can now freely use game shorts videos of less than 40 seconds on all social media platforms such as YouTube and Instagram.
As the foundation has been laid for baseball fans to actively produce various 'memes' and 'movies', the KBO Secretariat and each club expect this to improve accessibility for new baseball fans and increase popularity through the use of various videos.
CJ ENM provides additional features such as highlights of all games provided through existing wired and wireless broadcasting operators, replays of all games, operation of regular channels for 10 teams, a time machine function to rewatch missed scenes, and TV Talk, a chat function, at the opening of the regular season. It is scheduled to be officially offered starting on the 23rd.
The KBO Secretariat praised itself as having laid the foundation for the industrialization of the KBO League by extending the TV broadcasting rights contract worth 162 billion won (annual average of 54 billion won) for three years with the three terrestrial broadcasters and signing the largest wired and wireless broadcasting rights contract in history.
