CONCACAF-CONMEBOL merger into COPANFUT

 

2030 marks the year the first ever edition of the FIFA World Cup marks its centennial anniversary, and the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) and the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) would announce that it would merge their structures into the Panamerican Football Confederation (COPANFUT).

 

This would mean both CONCACAF and CONMEBOL's club and national team competitions and qualifiers would merge their structures.

Why is the Central Division only 9 teams?

The Atlantic Division has 10, Metropolitan 8, Central 9 and the Pacific has 10, one being in Tijuana, Mexico. Nothing in his scenario makes any sense.

I would love to see the Arizona Diamondbacks signing a deal with Scripps Sports and airing all their regionally televised TV games at Arizona 61, which airs the Arizona Coyotes' regionally televised games, but D-Backs' regional rights were assigned to MLB Local Media.

I just imagine the Colorado Rockies signing a deal with Altitude Sports, and the Monfort Bros. acquiring a stake at Altitude, majority owned by Kroenke, at the same time.

I would prefer that Fox would have lost 5 NASCAR Cup Series races to The CW, and that Craftsman Truck Series would no longer be on Fox, with ESPN or CBS taking over full rights to the Craftsman Truck Series, including the very first round at Daytona.

Poor Ligue 1 is still stuck in the abyss of Bein Sport which absolutely nobody has.

I wish Prime Video would takeover Ligue 1 broadcasting rights in the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada, in English, French and Spanish

And those who were fired from the NYT's sports department will be integrated into the Athletic?

This would get interesting if they plays it when they regain NBA.

As a boxing fan, do be scared of DAZN. They are awful. Admittedly their biggest issue is the broadcast team so that shouldn’t directly carry over to hockey, but until proven otherwise assume DAZN is garbage. The big fight feeling is nonexistent on DAZN productions. Not a hockey fan or Canadian so not sure what is in place now, but if I was, I wouldn’t be pulling for DAZN to takeover. 

I don't know if Mediapro wants to get NHL national rights in Canada. Mediapro's OneSoccer are struggling to get carriage on Rogers, per example.

 

It would be nice to see RDS replacing RDS Direct with RDS+, just like TSN did by replacing TSN Direct with TSN+.

Just imagining Roundball Rock returning to be heard around the world with NBC's NBA broadcasts

Canada basically has a telecommunications duopoly (and the government is totally fine with both halves of it owning the Maple Leafs because, I dunno, they're too busy talking about Justin Trudeau's Kooky Socks or something). NHL rights will continue to ping-pong between Rogers and Bell forever. I have no clue what you're talking about.

I just can imagine if Bell takes over national NHL rights in Canada from 2026. If they takes over, would be nice to see The Hockey Theme being heard coast to coast across Canada.

Fox and NBC wants to retain NASCAR from 2025. The question is: Will Prime Video make an aggressive move to takeover NASCAR rights from 2025? And what will happen with NASCAR's traditional radio broadcasts from 2025 onwards?

Bally Sports parent company DSG wants out of the Diamondbacks deal

 

https://frontofficesports.com/diamond-sports-seeks-approval-to-drop-diamondbacks-rsn-deal/

Which would means the DBacks would be free to negotiate with another media company?

About Alex Faust's firing, that's a bad decision made by the Kings. Faust is so good in his job. I hope he gets another sports broadcasting job soon.

Actually, the Diamondbacks are negotiating with Gray Television to broadcast the games for the Diamondbacks in 2024. With the games being played on 3 TV(KTVK)Sundays and the Arizona Family Sports Network(channel 44, cable 13)

Which would mean that Gray Television would launch their own in-house sports division, just like Scripps did it?

On 5/31/2023 at 2:23 PM, TBGKon said:

Expect something like this to happen in other places too.

 

 

 

My hypothetical scenario to this one:

 

DAZN would take over Cleveland Guardians regional broadcasting rights, with all games being aired there in the Guardians region
Fox Corporation would take over Minnesota Twins regional broadcasting rights, with games being aired primarily on Fox 9 Plus under the Fox Sports banner
Paramount would take over Texas Rangers regional broadcasting rights with games being aired on TXA 21 (in the DFW) and Paramount+ (exclusively in the Rangers region)
Scripps would take over Diamondbacks regional broadcasting rights, with games being primarily aired on CW 61 Arizona and select games being broadcast on ABC 15 Arizona under the Scripps Sports banner

Interesting development with the Reds and the Diamond Sports (Bally) bankruptcy. Diamond sports didn't make their payment for the Reds rights fees, which, because the Reds own part of Bally Sports Ohio, means they're not part of the Diamond Sports bankruptcy proceedings, which in turn means the Reds immediately take back the broadcast rights to their games. 

 

If Diamond does not pay within that grace period, MLB believes that the team will get its rights back, expected to happen during its early May series with the White Sox. The May 5 White Sox-Reds game is scheduled for AppleTV+. The Saturday night May 6 one is where the Reds could see MLB take over production.

 

The Reds situation is different from those in Cleveland and Minnesota, two other markets where Diamond has not made rights fees payments on time. That’s because the Reds own part of Bally Sports Ohio, and the presence of that joint venture has kept that RSN separate from the bankruptcy proceeding.

 

…If it gets back the Reds’ rights, MLB’s plan is to use many of the same behind-the-camera crew and trucks that currently work on the games for Bally Sports Ohio. That because most of those staffers are freelancers, and Mobile TV Group owns the trucks, sources said. The announcers work for the team, including John Sadak on play-by-play with analysts Chris Welsh and Barry Larkin.

Band will broadcast the Serie B free-to-air, while Globo's SporTV and Premiere will broadcast on pay TV and PPV

Since the NHL to Houston's Twitter account bet Atlanta and Houston would become NHL's 33rd and 34th NHL franchise, I bet Quebec and Portland would become NHL's 35th and 36th franchises.

If MLB took over all broadcasting and offered streaming options, like one team + MLB Network, I'd probably sign up. Then you could also have an option for the entire league + MLB Network at higher price point, as well.

i would prefer that Mediapro acquires the current Bally RSNs, since the FCC don't allow monopoly, the reason why ESPN sell out the former Fox RSNs
