Sports biz website launches

Yahoo is launching a sports business website that includes content from all of the major media companies covering the topic.

The partners include Front Office Sports, Sportico, and Sports Business Journal, as well as Awful Announcing, Barrett Media, JohnWallStreet, Sports Business Radio, and The 4th Quarter.

Reporters and analysts from the partners will also regularly appear on a range of Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance shows, including “Yahoo Sports Daily” and “Opening Bid Unfiltered.”

The content is free – no subscriptions required.

“Rapid changes in technology, media rights, and the investment landscape are making the business of sports more important than ever,” said Ryan Spoon, president of Yahoo Media Group, in a statement. “Fans and investors alike want deeper insight and sharper perspective. We’re excited to deliver that to both Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Finance audiences through smart, in-depth coverage powered by an exceptional group of industry-leading partners.”

Dylan Dittrich will publish a new sports business newsletter for Yahoo. A former Wall Street investment professional, Dittrich is the author of “Sneakonomic Growth” and a go-to expert on sneakers and sports collectibles for the world’s leading business publications.
