This from Paidcontent.Org. Sports fans' interest in minor league sports--especially baseball--will drive many future media opportunities. For example, I have been a huge fan of Arizona Fall League baseball for many seasons. It's a league that features the top up and coming stars of the game (including most Rookies of the Year). Offering those games (September-November) would not only be a nice revenue-geneator (we can leave business models aside for now), but offer sports-hungry fans some great additional content.

The Ontario Hockey League and Interactive Netcasting Systems Inc. have started a three-year program to stream thousands of hours of OHL hockey. Games are free for the rest of this regular season with PPV playoffs at $8.95 a game. No details yet on packages for next season. Some 60 percent of the games will be broadcast-quality regional OHL broadcasts; the remainder will use a "scout feed" combining visuals from the press box camera and the live audio from a team radio broadcast. The service will go beyond live games, providing highlights and game clips for consumers and hockey professionals
