Sobre IBD

Football as the world knows it today did not emerge solely from terraces, tactics, or touchlines - it was built, amplified, and globalised through the lens of a camera. Floodlights and Fortune: The Television Takeover of Football charts the extraordinary rise of football broadcasting from the BBC’s first experimental FA Cup transmissions to an era defined by multi-billion-pound rights auctions, 24/7 analysis, and worldwide streaming giants. This is the definitive history of how television and digital media reshaped the world’s most popular sport economically, culturally, and competitively.Drawing exclusively on verifiable developments and major broadcast milestones, the book follows football’s journey from local pastime to global entertainment powerhouse. It reveals how broadcasters transformed matchdays, created new formats, altered club finances, and influenced everything from scheduling to officiating. From colour broadcasts and satellite revolutions to digital personalisation and AI-powered production, the narrative shows how each technological leap brought football to larger audiences - and changed the sport in ways earlier generations could never have imagined.Comprehensive, factual, and richly told, Floodlights and Fortune explains how football became the most valuable media product in world sport. It offers an essential account of the partnerships, rivalries, innovations, and seismic shifts that elevated football to its modern global stage. This is the story of a sport reinvented by the power of broadcast.
