Description: When large-scale sports streams fail to meet expectations, folks can’t stop talking about it. Any sports streaming workflow is only as strong as its weakest (or least-tested) link. The more lucrative the license and massive the stream, unfortunately, the larger the opportunity and the smaller the margin for error. So, what do the experts say about the architectural demands and challenges of maintaining five-nines uptime and broadcast quality when the stakes are too high to let either suffer? And what solutions do they recommend?

Description: The rapid evolution of AI has created vast new opportunities for content owners and creators to cost-effectively make their content accessible across more territories and to more audiences than ever before. The potential for this kind of technology as it proliferates is tremendous, since it makes it far cheaper and easier to customize a platform’s content not only to a region but even to a specific group of users. But it also raises new ethical regulatory issues. As the tech leaps forward while the guardrails slowly take shape, how can content owners balance the opportunities and concerns to maximize the promise of AI for captioning, translation, and localization?

Description: Performance issues with some recent high-profile live streams underscore the challenges streaming faces in meeting the reliability standards of broadcast sports. But arguably the biggest threat to a smooth transition from broadcast and cable to streaming delivery of premium sports like the NFL is the unpredictable distribution of top-tier licensing among streaming providers. How many subscriptions will fans need to watch the games they want to see, and how will they know week to week where to look? As streamers vie for premium sports supremacy, and eye-popping licensing fees abound, who wins, and who loses?
