SPONSORSHIP & PROMOTION
As the WNBA’s best gather in Las Vegas this weekend for All-Star festivities, league sponsors are gearing up with various activations around the activities. AT&T, the title sponsor of All-Star Friday Night, which will air on ESPN at 7p and the game, scheduled for 3:30p on ABC, is tying various social and digital initiatives, as well as panel discussions and on-court clinics under Through Her Eyes banner. AT&T will also have a mobile retail unit selling mobile products and AT&T services. Kaiser Permanente, an associate partner of WNBA All-Star, is the presenting partner of the WNBA FIT Clinic with All-Stars on July 26. New Era products will be available at retail at the in-arena shop and Fan Fest pop-up shop, while Nike will have a central hub for AT&T WNBA All-Star where it will host discussions – themed Sports Change Everything -- throughout the weekend for traveling youth girls teams that feature Nike athletes and other guest panelists. Mtn Dew, the presenting partner of the 2019 WNBA Three-Point Contest, has secured broadcast integrations on ESPN and highlights across WNBA social and digital channels, as well as hospitality and signage benefits in-arena. NBCUniversal’s broadcast television unit saw revenue inch up 0.5% to $2.40 billion in the second quarter, as distribution and other revenue grew 14.7%. However, ad sales revenue decreased at 4.2% clip without contributions from Telemundo’s coverage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup from Russia. Backing out the impact of the soccer tournament, Comcast’s programming unit said broadcast revenues would have rose in the mid-single digits. Comcast CFO Michael Cavanagh said on the July 25 earnings call that sports programming was generating higher pricing, offsetting lower ratings, and the company benefited from an additional Stanley Cup Final contest (Game 7) and Telemundo’s presentation of the Copa America futbol tourmanent.

While ESPN outlets are providing coverage of the multinational, multisport competition in the U.S., the Olympic Channel will present more than 280 hours of the XVIII Pan American Games from Lima, Peru. The global digital platform will serve up daily doses on live action and highlights from July 26 through Aug. 11 via its website, and mobile apps to Africa, Asia, Europe and Oceania. More than 200 hours of Pan American Games action will air on ESPN Deportes, ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPN3.Some 900 hours of Spanish-language coverage will stream live on the ESPN App. FloSports and New Mexico State Athletics have reached a three-year deal under which live and on-demand coverage of Aggies home football games will be accessible via FloFootball.com.
