Paramount & NBC Bosses On Venu Sports: “We Weren’t Hurt By Not Being Invited” — IMG-RedBird Summit
Paramount's George Cheeks and NBC Sports' Jon Miller have addressed their companies' exlcusions from the embattled Venu Sports.
The pair addressed the topic of the Disney-, Fox- and Warner Bros. Discovery-backed sports streamer, whose launch has been delayed by a legal challenge, at the IMG-RedBird Summit in the UK yesterday, detailing how their companies had reacted to being excluded from the project. The value of linear and streaming sports propositions was a key theme at the Summit this week, and Cheeks, who oversees CBS as part of his Paramount co-CEO role alongside Chris McCarthy and Brian Robbins, was keen to talk up the facts. Cardinale — owner of Italy’s AC Milan, Toulouse FC and the United Football League — said sports rights would remain valuable thanks to the enduring power of linear networks and emerging bundles.
