The purpose of this study is to explore pro-baseball media user's type of media repertoires, according to in multi-media environment. Demographic and team-royalty, purchase intention variables are used to illustrate the characteristics of media repertoires. For this, K-means cluster analysis was applied to the data, which was collected from the total amount of use-time of terrestial TV, cable TV, satellite TV, radio, printing media, internet, DMB, cell-phone, IPTV(9 different media). As a result, 5 repertoire clusters were drawn out. Base on the patterns of each medium's relative and absolute time usage, these clusters were finally classified into 5: "low-usage media based repertoire", "Internet-Terrestial TV based repertoire", "Cable TV based repertoire" "DMB-Internet based repertoire", "Cable TV-Internet based repertoire".
Repertoire of baseball-related media, this study examined the characteristics. The first time, many groups use the media cable TV-internet based repertoire, using the media to a total of 266.15 minutes. And then cable TV based repertoire, internet - terrestrial TV based repertoire, DMB-internet based repertoire, the media is ranked low-usage media based repertoire.
After analyzing each group's repertoires based on the demographic characteristics. About half of baseball-related media users belong to low-usage media based repertoire. 1st group of low-usage media based repertoire find out repertoire characteristics, the distribution of the higher percentage of housewives, who are engaged in sales and service was relatively low. 2nd group of the internet-terrestial TV based repertoire demographic analysis by the education of graduate students in the proportion was higher. 3rd group of cable TV based repertoire was higher age 30, who lives with fellow members, income of less than 3,000,000~4,000,000 won. 4th group of DMB-internet based repertoire & 4th group of cable TV-internet based repertoire to explore the significant demographic characteristics was difficult.
Next, a measure of team loyalty and purchase intentions by applying the corresponding attributes were analyzed by type of media repertoire. As a result, team loyalty and purchase intentions low-usage media based repertoire all media with only the other 4 groups showed significant differences.
In regard to the different effect which affect team loyalty according to the pro-baseball fans type. Results of Analysis, "high-loyalty groups" had accounted for the most part, "latent loyal groups", "low-loyalty groups," "spurious loyalty groups," respectively. This measure of team loyalty categorized based on the type of baseball fan's media repertoire, we examined whether there are differences.
All the cable TV, internet, DMB by a team loyalty were significant differences in media usage. Three different media, the higher the team loyalty, and media usage is high.
The purpose of this study is to examine media supplementation or media substitution depending on media users for pro-baseball informations. But the result shows that media supplementation or media substitution don't differ depending on media users for pro-baseball informations. In addition to increasing every year compared to the baseball crowd, the media hasn't a high proportion of users trying. Increase loyalty to the media via the media actively marketed by a professional baseball club will be conducted. At the same time working to broaden the range of users in the middle of the current situation, users are mainly used by cable TV or over the Internet focused marketing strategy is needed. I believe this study will provide the actual basic data to help making the strategy for the pro-baseball fans. In the repertoire of the future media trends forecast for baseball-related media strategies and media placement and content focus of the study will be used.
