FOX Sports zet groeispurt in met nieuw licentiemodel

FOX heeft vorig jaar de status quo doorbroken die er was in de doorgifte bij tv-aanbieders. Een aantal bestaande licenties liep af, na het eind van de voetbalcompetitie. De zomerstop werd een onrustige waarin de contractverlenging tussen FOX (Sports) en KPN via de rechter - en via de media - werd gespeeld, tot in de week dat de competitie weer begon. Nu is het voor consumenten mogelijk om FOX Sports op verschillende manieren te krijgen.

PwC: minder kijktijd voor traditionele tv

De inkomsten uit tv-reclame groeien van 965 miljoen euro in 2015 naar ruim 1 miljard euro in 2020. De inkomsten uit online video advertenties (vast en mobiel) groeien in diezelfde periode met 18 procent per jaar tot ruim 200 miljoen euro.
