In today's sports media landscape, data is king. Fans expect more than just live action on their screens - they want stats, analysis and insights that help them understand the game more deeply. It is a crucial part of the storytelling requirements, and viewers no longer accept opinions; they want them to be supported with facts and delivered at speed. Broadcasters and content creators who fail to provide this crucial component risk losing viewers to competitors who can. A sports broadcast is only complete if it can offer data and insights to back up what the commentators and presenters are saying.
Sports data is vital in enhancing post-produced programming and short-form content that follows a game. If utilised effectively, the story of a single match can remain relevant for 2-3 days after the event, keeping fans engaged and eager for more. Additionally, data can offer valuable insights for previewing the next match, providing viewers with vital information about what to expect. As a result, sports teams and organisations need to excel in using this data, as it can significantly impact viewers’ viewing decisions. With the growth of OTT services, providing live feeds that show live data alongside the action is an increasing requirement, which introduces the need for excellent and engaging graphics.
At LCA, we understand how vital data is at every stage of the production process, from live game coverage to post-match analysis and beyond. We can help you use data to tell a compelling story about each game, keeping viewers engaged even after the final whistle. With over 25 years of experience delivering data-rich broadcasts and bringing graphics products to the sports market, LCA is ideally placed to advise on this vital part of the sports production process. Whether you're a traditional broadcaster looking to enhance your coverage or an OTT service provider looking to meet the demands of a data-hungry audience, LCA has the expertise to help you succeed.
