Abstract
During the past decade, the media landscape and the coverage of sports events have changed fundamentally. The emergence of new communication technologies, such as Internet and digital television, the convergence of these technologies, the multiplication of the number of devices through which content can be accessed and the rise of the active ‘prosumer’ have put their stamp on the way fans can consume sports content.
