6. Similarities and Differences

6.1. One of the similarities you can find across every single one of these departments is live coverage. Because these are all sports related, live coverage is the majority of what a sports broadcasting company needs to do.

6.1.1. With live coverage, comes in-depth analysis, using statistics and highlights for viewers to fully grasp what they're watching. Again, amongst all these departments, statistics and highlights, along with analysis is completely necessary for any sports media company.

6.2. The easiest difference to spot would be the fact that some of these are completely different sports. For example, with one department being e-league, and another being the NBA, those 2 sports reach entirely different audiences. The e-league is geared towards the younger generation who is super involved in the technology era, while the NBA, for example can reach people of all ages.

6.2.1. Another difference that is easily noticed is that between Bleacher Report and the rest of the entities enlisted. Bleacher report is a news-based hub, providing information using incredible amounts of social media. While departments such as the NBA on TNT, or March Madness also utilize social media, it is not nearly in the same fashion. Bleacher Report specializes in creating news based off social media posts and gatherings, while the other departments utilize it as a way to enhance viewership.
