Why Creators Will Own The Next Era of Live Sports · Creator Sports Network Co-Founder Barrick Prince
Barrick Prince is the Co-Founder of Creator Sports Network, a network of live digital content creators broadcasting live sports the way NBC, ABC, and Fox once built national reach through hundreds of local affiliate stations.
A 20-year television veteran who was inside Twitch when COVID hit, Barrick breaks down the "Live Social Creator Window", a brand new category of broadcast rights his team legally defined and is currently the only company in the world licensing.
On this episode of Under the Number, we cover:
→ Why creators are the new affiliate stations, and how that makes a TV network infinitely scalable without FCC geography
→ The Live Social Creator Window: inventing a broadcast rights category from scratch and writing it into league contracts
→ How CSN turns off-the-books young viewers into a brand new revenue line for leagues and rights holders
→ The Samsung activation that makes a YouTube stream look like you are watching on a Samsung TV
→ Why Mr. Beast, iShowSpeed, and xQc replaced Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts as the new superstars
→ Periscope, Justin.tv, and the timing that finally made IRL live streaming work
→ The 15-year-old math problem every league is quietly ignoring
