“…These studies, despite providing useful insights to researchers and practitioners, are rather outdated and are restricted to a single league in a specific period: the English Premier League (EPL) during its inception in the 1990s. Because the cultural background of professional sport fans and the socioeconomic environment surrounding each professional league vary from one country to another (Agah & Dixon, 2021;Jang, 2019;Ryu et al, 2019), the results of the aforementioned studies may limit the understanding of the latest trends in sport media consumption in other sport leagues. Specifically, each sport league within and across borders has different policies for broadcasting sporting events (Ma & Kurscheidt, 2020).…”

This study investigated the determinants of television viewership and its relation to broadcasters’ choices of matches for live telecasts. Also, factors driving the broadcasters’ choices were examined. A panel data set from the 2018 Korea Baseball Organization league pennant race was analyzed. Broadcasters’ choice order of matches and the actual television ratings of each match were regressed on a series of antecedent factors related to the game characteristics and audience preferences. It was found that the broadcasters’ choice order of matches positively affected the television ratings, suggesting that the broadcasters’ decisions were well reflected in the actual viewership. It also appeared that broadcasters’ choices were based on popularity and team performance/quality, whereas viewers showed preference for current games’ on-field performance. There was no evidence of audience preference for games with higher outcome uncertainty, whereas the broadcasters tended to choose games with more certain, rather than uncertain, outcomes. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings were discussed.

Asian countries have emerged as an important player in international sport business. In particular, China, Japan, and Korea are frequent hosts of the Olympics, FIFA World Cup, and other international mega sports events. At the same time, their domestic sports industries also have grown consistently. However, Asian sports business remains relatively remote from the in-depth research occurring in Western contexts in the field of sports economics and management. In response to this, this special issue helps to push forward the examination of Asian sport business from economic, financial, and managerial perspectives. Specifically, this special issue examines: the impact of foreign player policies on competitive balance, the relationship between wage dispersion and team performance, the relationship between consumer demand and international events, as well as the development of sport facilities across China.
