secs has evolved drastically. The industry started broadcasting. I will show
off in black and white with newspapers what it was like in the
being the first way of media. The first radio early days compared to
station in the UK was introduced in 1920, in now. I will show a timeline
Chelmsford, Essex. It was Marconis of the platforms of sports
experimental station that had regular news broadcasting. Starts with
transmissions. Soon after this, 6 more radio a newspaper > Radio >
stations started to broadcast in the UK. Ten TV > On Demand/ Live
years later, TV was introduced with the first streaming
live broadcast being the 1936 Olympics.

Audio from clips/ narration of how it has

changed over the years and how
technology has become more advanced.
Started with black/white now you can
watch any event within a day of it being
aired

21-30 In the early days the sports industry was Youll see footage of
secs dominated by newspapers due to there radio presenters/
being no TVs and very little radio services commentators talking
so this meant people who were into sport about the industrys
had to gather information from history and quick edits of
newspapers, which of course is a much them in action
slower process than just going onto the BBC
sport app on your phone like we do today.

31-35 As you can imagine resources were limited Visuals of a small

secs so consumers had little information in broadcasting radio
comparison to todays industry, station with little facilities
newspapers being the main publication.

35-45 Later, on January 22nd 1922 Arsenal v Visuals of radio stations

secs Sheffield United became the first football and presenters at work,
match in the UK to be broadcasted. BBC sound fading in and out
started to produce daily radio transmissions from what Im saying and
to the UK population. By the end of 1923, six what theyre saying
radio stations were up and running in the
UK and were all able to broadcast sporting
events.
 Audio from YouTube clips of radio
broadcasting in the early days whilst I talk
about how radio revolutionised sports
broadcasting. I will talk about radio 5 live
and other radio stations.

46-60 After a short while, TV was invented during Visual footage of an

secs the mid-1930s and obviously this had a audience in black/white
detrimental effect on radio as now more watching TV during the
people were starting to watch instead of 1930s. Clips taken from
listen to sports events. In 1939 the first live YouTube
sporting event was shown on TV, it was a
college baseball game on NBC

1 min 1 Fast forward to 1964 and the first ever- Footage from YouTube of
1 min televised match of the day was aired, this MOTD highlights
10 secs shaped the way for TV highlights as it
obtained a huge amount of views during its
first showing and even today the show still
records large viewing figures on a weekly
basis. Today, there are other highlight
shows like Soccer AM and football on 5 that
have tried mirror what Match of the Day
have done but havent had the same
success.

1 min The 1966 world cup was the last sporting Footage from 66 world
11- 1 event to be broadcast in black and white cup and Wimbledon
min 25 on British television. A year later in 1967,
secs Wimbledon became the first event shown
in colour, this has now paved the way for
live television within the UK

1 min 26 In 1996 the first pay per view event was I will show footage of the
1 min released, a boxing match between mike boxing match between
35 secs Tyson and Frank Bruno (second fight) it was Tyson and Bruno
live via showtime and generated 1.4
million buys. In comparison, the recent bout
between Anthony Joshua and Vladimir
Klitschko smashed the record of 1.5 million
buys previously held by the
Mayweather/Pacquio match in 2015. Eddie
Hearn said We broke British Box Office
records on pay-per-view. We cant tell you
the number because its too early but the
 record was 1.5m. [Saturday] beat that for
sure

1 min 36 In 2011, on the go was introduced by Sky. I will show clips from
1 min This gives the customers the ability to watch YouTube of people using
50 secs what they want where they want providing sky go on their phones

1 min A year on, the Olympics came to London, Clips of past Olympics like

and the FA cup final laptop and games
console

2 mins However, whilst all these major events are Footage of these events
21 2 broadcast, they are controlled by TV rights from YouTube
mins 45 like sponsors and the actual start time of
secs the match or event.

2 mins Furthermore, social media sites like Clips from YouTube of

46 3 Facebook and twitter now have the ability people campaigning
mins 15 to live stream games. For Wayne Rooneys against the likes of Sky
Manchester united testimonial, viewing
figures reached a staggering 3.7 million via
Facebook. Likewise, Twitter has the
functionality for you to periscope, which is
essentially an app that enables you to live
stream through Twitter. Often major twitter
pages like sky sports use this feature in the
build up to a major event like transfer
deadline day or a highly anticipation
football match.
3 min 16 So what effects has TV rights had on the Show statistics of players
3 min players themselves? Well, when sky first wages and TV right
35 bought the rights to show live games, money increasing
players wages were moderate in
comparison to today. For example the
average premier league player was on
roughly 10 thousand per week in 1990s, in
contrast, top earning footballers like Wayne
rooney, Lionel Messi and Yaya Toure are all
making in excess of 300 thousand per
week
3 min 36
- 3 min In more recent times, films featuring Jamie YouTube footage of films
50 secs Vardy and David Beckham and such as bend it like
documentaries featuring icons like Sir steve beckham and football
Redgrave are increasing trends in the factory
industry through the use of cinemas and
on-demand, which is essentially a platform
where you can re-watch programmes/films
that have already been aired either in
cinema or on TV

3 mins Now I will compare radio listing figures to TV Show images of

51 4 viewing figures in the UK. Britains biggest infographics
mins 5 sport radio station 5 live, recorded a
secs wopping 5.5 million listeners from Match
2017 through to June 2017; covering 54
million people within our nation, thats a
10% increase on the same period in 2016.
Also, each listener spent approximately 6.5 I will show viewing figures
hours tuning into the radio station every of documentaries on
week whilst the show totalled a staggering YouTube and TV
35 million listening hours every week from its
audience.

4 mins 6 However, with the emergence of YouTube, Annotate screenshots

4 mins many people, especially the younger from past football
25 secs generation tend to use the internet to highlights like major
watch sporting events, mainly via streaming champions league
services therefore radio stations will suffer as matches posted on
it has become easier to watch large YouTube
sporting events illegally for free. So there
really isnt any need to listen to the radio.

4 mins As Im sure youre aware, YouTube is one of Clips from all types of
26 4 the most visited sites by internet users sports taken from
mins 40 worldwide, so it wont surprise you that YouTube
secs many sports documentaries and live
streams are now available to watch on
 YouTube instead of TV as its free to upload
and you have the ability to reach a larger
demographic Clips from match of the
day and sky sports
football
4 min 36 Due to YouTube ever increasing power it
4 min now makes sense for broadcasters like sky
50 secs and BT to have channels where they post
highlights from sporting events

Stuff to help me

Audio of me talking about how the introduction of TV has enabled companies like
sky and BT to control what time and date football, cricket and rugby matches are
shown. And how highlight shows like Match of the day have continued its long

Audio of me talking about how in recent years live streaming and on-demand has
become so big in the broadcasting industry that people often watch live events on
illegal streaming websites to bypass the ever rising costs of sky sports and bt sports. I
will also mention how events like the 2012 Olympics was broadcasted for 12 hours a
day across 506 channels worldwide reaching over 3.5 billion people. Similarly, I will
talk about the FA cup final and its viewing figures in the UK and how it has steadily
decreased in recent years. >>NFL/ Denver v Carolina received viewing figures of 120
million in the US alone.

For the last part of my documentary I will talk about how sports films such as Rocky
Balboa and documentaries like bend it like Beckham based on one individual are
now often made compared to the early stages of sports broadcasting
A short conclusion of me talking about how sports broadcasting has changed over
time
