‘Monday Night Football’ #TVsports doubleheaders to end as the real brawl moves behind closed doors...

#NationalFootballLeague owners have approved taking 10% ownership of #ESPN by selling entire #NFLnetwork broadcast arm to #Disney; which will require entering labyrinth of #Gov regulatory approval and potential of #KingDrumpf putting his thumb on the scales to get his piece.

Back in the 1980s #Drumpf was infamously blocked from owning an #NFL franchise and he has seldom shirked since from attacking league or #MickeyMouse, it is almost a certainty the angry 😡 range troll will seek his #FartOfTheDeal revenge, and place a heavy thumb on the scale in his second term as the nation's #ChiefExecutive

Said a corporate PR stooge of the process "We're going to cooperate, we're going to partner,"

The NFL is the #USA #TVRatings king, whose team's contests comprise 72 of the top 100 most-watched #streaming and #cable television programs each year, with only #Prresidential #Debates taking a chunk out of their top 10 most watched live programs.

That sounds dire ... Who does one lease #billboards from in the US? Surely not mainstream or legacy media? (I'm thinking of that film 'Three billboards' in which billboards were the broadcast media of choice...)

Another thought: sky pilots. They can cover a lot of territory & surely no one vets what they're going to write? Or do they?

(I'm an Australian so please excuse my ignorant questions.)

“simulcasts are a recognition that ‘most of the radio audience has moved to FM radio.’”

Connecticut AM radio stations move to FM for financial reasons, joining growing trend:

This got randomly selected by my `mpd` scripts … but it seems so appropriate in terms of describing what's happened to #BroadcastMedia over the 22 years since this song was released.

#socialmedia is the new #broadcastmedia
#microblogging with your peers on the web is just fine.

GStreamer 1.24 will include a plugin for AJA capture / playback cards

I developed a GStreamer plugin for AJA SDI / HDMI capture / playback cards over the last few years in separate repository on GitHub but now that it has proven to work reliably for multiple people and the underlying NTV2 SDK is actually open source, nothing was preventing it from getting merged into GStreamer proper anymore.

So starting with the 1.24 GStreamer release there will be an AJA plugin included. If you're building GStreamer via meson this even comes with a subproject for the NTV2 SDK so you only need to make sure that a driver for your card is loaded.

If you want to test it, now is the best time to make sure there are no unexpected bugs left for your use-case before the release!

The Diamond Sports Group saga takes yet another twist. Diamond Sports Group pulls off a clutch hit in the bottom of the ninth to keep the Reds' broadcast rights — for now. Next on deck for DSG? The San Diego Padres.
