Asked by fowler0511

Answer (2)

The best example of sport-media vertical integration is Turner purchasing Bleacher Report, as it demonstrates a media company expanding its control over sports content. While ESPN starting a magazine and media timeouts relate to sports media, they do not exemplify vertical integration. B Cablevision owning the New York Knicks reflects team ownership rather than integration within media and sports. ;

The best example of sport-media vertical integration is Turner purchasing Bleacher Report, as it demonstrates a media company's expansion into sports content. The other options involve either diversification or ownership without merging media within sports. Option C clearly illustrates the integration of media and sports by a single organization.
