View from the Grandstand -- Sports Betting in the Media Industry with KPMG's Scott Purdy (Video)
It has become overwhelmingly obvious that sports betting has grown in the United States over the last half decade. In fact, it is now fully functioning in 33 states and Washington D.C., and four additional states where it has been legalized but has yet to officially launch. There is no doubt that sports betting is on track to be a multi-billion dollar industry in the coming years. Sports media has noticed the rise in popularity and has adjusted its strategy accordingly.
Scott Purdy, partner and U.S. Media Industry Leader at KPMG, joins host Justin Paura in this edition of View from the Grandstand to discuss how the rise in sports betting has impacted the media industry. Purdy provides an interesting perspective on how this revolution is being viewed by media leaders, what opportunities now exist that haven't in the past, and where he sees the sports media landscape changing in the future.
