1936年，柏林体育场的传输范围内约有16万人能够收看奥运会的第一次电视转播。这一动作是在三台摄像机上拍摄的，其中只有一台可以捕捉到现场画面，而且只有在太阳出来的时候。在 1948 年于伦敦举行的下一届夏季奥运会上，英国广播公司建议或许应该向组织者支付赛事转播权费用，并提供了 1,000 几内亚镑（按今天的价格计算约为 40,000 美元）。奥委会表示没有必要。
Today things are a little different. The 33rd summer Olympics, which begin in Paris on July 26th, will be crawled over by cameras transmitting thousands of hours of coverage to an audience of more than 3bn—nearly half the world’s population. The organisers will charge media companies some $3.3bn for the right to broadcast the action, contributing the biggest single part of the games’ income and making the event perhaps the most valuable fortnight of entertainment in history.
charge / tʃɑːrdʒ/ v.收费

今天的情况有点不同。第33届夏季奥运会将于7月26日在巴黎开幕，届时将有摄像机向30多亿观众（几乎占世界人口的一半）播放数千小时的报道。组织者将向媒体公司收取约33亿美元的转播权费用，这是奥运会收入中最大的一笔，也使奥运会成为历史上最有价值的两周娱乐盛会。
The shift of sport to digital channels will also complete a reshaping of the media industry. Sport is the last big content category propping up viewership of broadcast and cable television, which still provide a large chunk of the profits of big media companies. Nearly a decade ago John Malone, a media mogul, described sport as “the glue that holds the [cable] bundle together”. As sport moves to streaming, that glue is coming unstuck.Now mass media are evolving in a way that will again reshape the sports business. A third of viewers of the Paris games will watch not via broadcast but by online streaming. In some rich countries streaming will be the main way that young audiences tune in.

体育向数字渠道的转变也将完成媒体行业的重塑。体育是支撑广播和有线电视收视率的最后一个重要内容类别，这些内容仍然为大型媒体公司提供了很大一部分利润。近十年前，媒体大亨约翰·马龙将体育描述为“将（有线电视）捆绑在一起的粘合剂”。随着体育运动转向流媒体，这种粘合剂正在脱落。现在，大众媒体正在以一种将再次重塑体育行业的方式发展。三分之一的巴黎奥运会观众将不通过广播观看，而是通过在线流媒体观看。在一些富裕国家，流媒体将是年轻观众收听的主要方式。
The TV business has been turned upside down in the past five years by the migration of viewers from broadcast and cable to streaming, pioneered by Netflix and hastily followed by most other big media firms, which have yanked their best shows from cable and put them online to attract subscribers. Today streaming accounts for about 40% of tv viewing in America. For the first time in decades a majority of households no longer subscribe to cable.
migration / maɪˈɡreɪʃn/ n.迁移
yank / jæŋk/ v.猛拉；猛拽
pioneer v.倡导，做先锋

过去五年，随着观众从广播和有线电视转向流媒体，电视业务发生了翻天覆地的变化。这一趋势由Netflix率先提出，大多数其他大型媒体公司也紧随其后，它们从有线电视上撤下了最好的节目，并将其放在网上以吸引用户。如今，流媒体约占美国电视观看量的40%。几十年来，大多数家庭首次不再订阅有线电视。
Consumers’ last reason to stay with cable has been sport. But that, too, is now shifting online. espn, the biggest sports cable network, which is owned by Disney, will next year launch a streaming platform with all the content previously reserved for cable. ESPN, in conjunction with Warner Bros Discovery and Fox, is also setting up a sports-streaming venture called Venu (pronounced “venue”). NBCUniversal, owned by the Comcast cable empire, is putting more sport on its streaming service, Peacock, even as it holds some events back to protect the cable bundle. “It’s a tightrope we walk,” says Mr Lazarus. But the direction is clear: by putting sport online, media companies are “pulling out these last Jenga blocks” of the cable business, says MoffettNathanson, a research firm.

消费者选择有线电视的最后一个原因是体育。但现在，这一原因也在转移到线上。迪士尼旗下最大的体育有线电视网络espn将于明年推出一个流媒体平台，其中包含以前为有线电视保留的所有内容。ESPN与华纳兄弟探索频道和福克斯合作，还成立了一家名为Venu（发音为“venue”）的体育流媒体公司。康卡斯特有线电视帝国旗下的NBCUniversal正在其流媒体服务Peacock上投入更多体育活动，尽管它为了保护有线电视而推迟了一些活动。“我们走的是一条钢丝绳，”拉扎勒斯说。但方向很明确：通过将体育赛事放到线上，媒体公司正在“拔出有线电视业务最后的几块积木”，研究公司 MoffettNathanson 说。

The battle we’re fighting is, there’s a lot of people following sports—not everyone’s watching sports.It’s harder to get people, especially younger people, to sit down and watch a full match.
