The YES Network (YES) and MSG Networks (MSGN) have jointly established Gotham Advanced Media and Entertainment (GAME), a new 50/50 venture aimed at leveraging technical and operational synergies from YES’ and MSGN’s streaming services.
GAME will also provide comprehensive digital content distribution services to third parties, encompassing platform technology, operational support, and extensive data analytics. These services draw upon the combined technical and operational expertise gained from the successful launch and operation of the YES App and MSG+.
Jon Litner, CEO of the YES Network, expressed enthusiasm about collaborating with MSG Networks to enhance the fan experience and develop new product offerings and features. GAME aims to provide scalable technology solutions for third-party content owners seeking to offer state-of-the-art streaming experiences to their audiences.
Andrea Greenberg, President and CEO of MSG Networks, emphasized that this joint venture combines the streaming expertise of two prominent regional sports networks. GAME intends to merge their collective insights, expertise, and cutting-edge technology to explore improvements to their own products and offer an efficient way for other networks, teams, and sports properties to launch high-quality streaming services. The partnership between YES and MSG seeks to create solutions for third-party content providers looking to seamlessly reach new audiences.
GAME plans to provide a wide range of world-class streaming services, all managed centrally by a skilled team experienced in live sports streaming. These streaming products will be customizable, allowing them to deliver locally branded customer experiences tailored to the specific needs of each client.
