This trend is driven by a desire for a more immersive experience and a deeper connection to the game.

In the American football media market, there is a growing trend of online streaming services for live games, offering a more convenient and often more affordable option for fans.

In addition, national economic health, including purchasing power and disposable income, greatly impacts consumer spending on media, making it a key factor in market performance. Fiscal policies and taxation also play a role in the market, as changes in tax rates can affect advertising spending and overall revenue for media companies.
