What is a
Broadcast Revenue Report
? Broadcast Revenue Reports are considered revenue and media analysis tools and are used by media- and revenue managers to analyze and compare detailed broadcast revenue metrics. Some of the main functionality in this type of report is that it shows detailed revenue and viewer figures per broadcaster and game. For each broadcaster (seen in the columns in the sample below) there are three columns: 1) Viewers, 2) Revenue and 3) Revenue per viewer. Games display down the rows with sub-totals by season. On the far right the report calculates the averages across all broadcasters. You find an example of this type of report below.
Purpose of
Broadcast Revenue Report
s Sports organizations use Broadcast Revenue Reports to give their managers a detailed picture of income and performance of each media partner. When used as part of good business practices in Broadcast Sales and FP&A departments, an organization can improve its media strategies and related broadcasting revenues, and it can reduce the chances that performance issues with underperforming media partners are not addressed in a timely manner.
