To mark the launch of the new Coventry Sporting Conversation series, Coventry University (Centre for the International Business of Sport) will be hosting a 'Football and Television' seminar on 24 January 2008 from 10am - 4pm (Charles Ward Building, Rm 152). Football has become big business over the last decade, with many people attributing massive growth in the sport to the influence of television. The seminar will therefore address the most pressing issues currently facing football and television and consider issues such as the role of television in the development of English football, TV rights negotiations, and changing club ownership and television. Confirmed speakers include: David Conn - Journalist and Writer, The Guardian Amanda Farnsworth - Editor, BBC1 Inside Sport Alex Fynn - Management Consultant and Writer Paul Fletcher - Motivational Speaker and former Chief Executive, Coventry City Roger Mosey - Director of BBC Sport Mel Stein - Sports Agent and Lawyer Jim White - Journalist and Writer, The Daily Telegraph Admission is free - all welcome.
