Abstract: The author discusses the optimal sharing of broadcasting revenues given a central marketing system. A league's sports association wants to maximize the joint profits of the sports clubs' owners. The results show that a winner-take-all scheme should be used if the teams are homogeneous. However, if teams are sufficiently heterogeneous, equal sharing will be optimal.
