Media Contributions to Sport's teams success

How does Professional Sports team’s success rely on media contributions?


 


          
              Main Factors: the media plays a large role in contributing to a team’s success because of its ability to inform people on upcoming games.
                               
                Every day when we turn on the T.V. whether it’s to watch our favorite show, Espn Sports, or the Food channel, we always run across commercials where the media is working their best to show news or important announcements. In sports, especially when watching popular sport’s show like “ESPN First Take”, “Pardon the Interruption”, or “Around the horn”, there are always commercials on upcoming games for so-called “Primetime” games, which are games that are nationally broadcasted. There are some teams that are more fortunate to others that are granted more nationally viewed games, which allows those teams to be nationally recognized through commercials about the upcoming game and the game itself.

         In the article "http://www.teachpe.com/gcse_society/media.php" , the positive affects media has on sports is determined through key variables. In order for the media to be involved within the promotion of the sports teams and popular, nationally broadcasted games, it must take in part by showing and announcing to people the game in every way possible. One of the most popular ways the media views sport’s teams is through the T.V. and radio. Through the T.V. and Radio, people are able to watch mostly all games and competitions. Other popular ways the media is able to promote sports to people is through the internet, including popular websites like “ESPN.com” or “Fox Sports”, magazines, including popular subscriptions like “Sports Illustrated” or “Golf”, and newspapers, including popular columns like “Chicago Tribune Sports” or “Atlanta Sports”. Through these key ways of promotion, the media is able to help sports teams make large amounts of money through media companies paying the rights to show a sporting event. 

Ultimately, the most valuable effect the media has on different sport’s teams is inspiration. The media is able to bring sports to people that may not normally have a chance to experience a sports game. Once people are introduced to watching a sport’s team, they are usually inspired then to become a fan and follow their favorite team. Fan support is crucial in helping all ends of a franchise organization. The more fans a team has, the better it is for their organization which helps their team out financially and on a success rate, and it all starts with the media’s ability to contribute and promote sport’s teams and games to people.

The media is shown to affect all sides of team’s success. Without the media to promote and portray news regarding a sport’s game for a team, people would not be informed, leading to less fans in a team’s organization. Ultimately, a team’s success relies on media contributions.
