I know people are saying that Twitch is dying, or it's about to die, and I get that. YouTube is poaching their talent, and have created a better platform for both discoverability, and monetization (on some fronts; it must be considered that while the monetization mechanisms themselves remain inferior, the discoverability is far better, which can make it easier to earn more money on YouTube than on Twitch). However, there are a couple arenas where they could dominate in: eSports events, and to a lesser extent, live music.
They honestly already are pretty close to having a network rivalling ESPN in quality, and their Twitch Rivals channel airing live eSports with increasing frequency. To become a true competitor to ESPN, they would need to broadcast on Twitch as a 24/7 channel (like others do, such as TWiT.tv), allowing for the type of waterfall television that can always be on in the background, or (even more lucratively) be broadcast for hours on end in bars, hotels and airports. The best way (in my opinion) for them to fill in the gaps of airtime to become a 24/7 network is to sign deals to syndicate tournaments from other leagues such as Fortnite, CODL, League of Legends, and Valorant. Another option is to create a show or podcast with high rerun value, like SportsCenter, but for eSports.
They could also make a secondary channel for live music events, which I think would most likely be called Amazon Music TV, but I don't think there is enough live music content or hype for that to be as successful.
What do you guys think? Do you think that Twitch Rivals could turn into a lucrative, 24/7 waterfall television channel that can/will become the ESPN for our (Gen Z's) generation?
