I just read an interesting article in a media publication that focused on the iGaming industry and its impact on Sports Leagues and broadcast media. This was the text to contextualize the impact. "Leagues have accepted the revenue. Networks have built it into broadcasts and are being paid a premium for it. Sportsbooks have expanded the menu. Everyone has a stake. That also means everyone shares responsibility." While I agree that the media has a shared responsibility, that responsibility should be focused on audience restriction as in “legal age adults”. While that may be unrealistic for most broadcast, cable and streaming sports programming networks, it is not unachievable. One area of responsibility that was overlooked is the actual target of the advertising, i.e. the viewer. In the end, it is and should be the responsibility of the individual to regulate their participation.
That said I will present an alternative to the afore-mentioned media outlets, MTRN, the Mizlou Thoroughbred Racing Network. MTRN is distributed live daily to racetracks, casinos, sports books, and ADW (Advanced Deposit Wagering) Apps. Our weekly audience delivery of 100% legal age participating viewers is two million+ active gamers.
MTRN airs all spots as standalones adjacent to programming, we never cut away from live action, and we guarantee a minimum of twenty minutes of separation from completive products. MTRN CPMs are the most efficient in sports broadcasting.
To summarize, if you want to reach a daily audience of legal age gaming-oriented viewers in an environment of their choosing, MTRN is your best bet.
