Instead, the station will pursue a strategy of “integration”—which basically means that DJs will conversationally advertise products during their breaks, thus putting more music...
...revenue per head than the NFL, and eight times that of the NBA, according to consultants Deloitte. Increasingly, that TV revenue is going to come from outside the U.K. The Premiership had a weekly global TV audience of 78 million last season, with broadcasters such as the Fox Soccer Channel in the U.S. and pccw in Hong Kong clamoring for a piece of the action.

...licensing them, the LPGA earns money from ticket sales, food and merchandise. The plan is still a long iron from success. LPGA tournaments have to buy network time, sell their own ads and cover production costs.
