Media/Entertainment

We have served an impressive list of media, entertainment and sports industry clients for many years. For radio and television stations, print and on-line news providers, musical recording artists, and professional sports franchises and league entities, we ensure very unique properties have proper protection.

In today’s digital world, most technology and emerging media policies have not adapted to the speed of change in the marketplace leaving gaps in coverage. We provide the technical expertise to tailor coverage to your unique and ever-changing risk exposures.

Owners of professional sports teams face their own set of unique insurance issues. From tremendous exposure each time the team’s plane departs to the wide variety of required risk management strategies before, during and after sporting events, we are entrusted to provide comprehensive programs.

Client Anecdote: When a professional sports league needed coverage for one of their annual events, they turned to Gregory & Appel. As their agency of record, we provided a risk management assessment and recommendations for protecting their athletes. After a thorough review of the venue and event logistics, we delivered a detailed and overall risk management strategy for the event. It was well received and successfully implemented.
