broadcast rights
Television licensing agreements
Broadcast rights are legal permissions to transmit content—typically sports events, films, or television programs—over radio, television, or streaming platforms.
Networks pay enormous sums for exclusive broadcast rights to major sporting events: ESPN secured the broadcast rights to Monday Night Football.
Rights may be divided by territory, platform, or time period.
