My old contact at PLM had this to say on LinkedIn about the Front Office Sports article on #NPB going around the blogosphere. Shared with his permission.

A LinkedIn post by Ryu Takagi, CPA, an employee of Pacific League Marketing:

After reading the recent article on NPB’s business strategy and global expansion, I’d like to share a few thoughts from the perspective of my domain expertise: overseas broadcasting rights.

■ Challenges and Approaches in the North and Latin American Markets
The article highlighted how the KBO gained a temporary surge in popularity when broadcast across the U.S. during the pandemic, but ultimately struggled to sustain that audience long-term.

Drawing from my nearly 9 years of living in the U.S. and 6 years of hands-on experience selling broadcasting rights internationally, I find this outcome somewhat inevitable. The barrier to entry against established local sports content (i.e. MLB and NFL) in North and Latin America is incredibly high.That is why our top priority should not merely be securing short-term rights fees, but rather expanding exposure from a mid-to-long-term perspective. I will continue to work toward building everyday touch points with fans by actively pitching our content to local media outlets and platforms.

■ Strategic Approach to the Taiwanese Market
On the other hand, the market dynamics in Taiwan are quite different, requiring a tailored strategy. The growing number of Taiwanese players taking on the challenge of playing in Japan presents a strong tailwind. Rather than simply reporting on the performances of these Taiwanese players, I believe it is vital to leverage this momentum by spotlighting a wider range of attractions, such as:

・The unique appeal of the clubs and their ballparks
・The broad range of entertainment options available both inside and outside the venue
・The talent and charisma of Japanese players

I am convinced that delivering these multifaceted elements to fans in Taiwan will be key to building a far more robust and lasting fanbase.

Zuck controls 60% of votes among shareholders, so he'd be able to fire any board members who try to remove him. At this point, the only way he leaves Meta is if the company goes under.

For sure. I think for me the takeaways look like: 1. Actually believe in something 2. Do big things and little things. (Easier at the municipal level!) 3. Campaign on a memorable 4-point plan 4. Communicate relentlessly as befits you. Over-communicate your wins.

Subways = 6 minute frequency or better all day every day in Toronto. That's why they're so coveted and desired. GO is shirking its responsibility and insists on being a commuter service; isn't that why DB got fed up and cancelled their contracts?

They also have a second track they can use! Hell, Cooksville clearly has the space for a second platform north of the current one that could be used as a holding track. All cheaper than tunneling with today's rates.

People will tell you that it is fun to be angry about sports. That it’s an outlet, and a way to let off steam. I’m telling you that sports anger isn’t a release valve. It’s a heaping shovel of coal into the furnace. If you are angry about sports, you’re probably angry about everything else.
