Lax United Marketing, LLC has announced that its premiere digital network “FTF – For the Fans” has launched a strategic partnership with FreeCast, a complete end-to-end OTT ecosystem replacing cable TV’s hard-wired infrastructure across multiple platforms through its SelectTV and SmartGuide services. The company’s motto “We do for streaming, what cable did for TV” is a base description of this targeted initiative.
The launch date was April 3, 2020.
“We’re excited to have For the Fans on SelectTV. Most people associate streaming with video on-demand. Sports are different, people want to see them live, so these kinds of channels are a critical piece of offering a true replacement to cable and satellite television. FTF - For the Fans goes a step further than that, with a selection of fast-growing alternative sports people are more likely to consume via the web than more traditional cable TV.” FreeCast CEO William Mobley said.
FTF – For the Fans salutes the drivers of the sports industry - the passionate, rabid fans seeking a new sports experience along with exceptional coverage. With content partnerships across professional and college rugby; international and college lacrosse; e-sports, basketball, hockey and the world of unique sport and content, FTF is “Alternative Sports. Alternative Programming.”
FTF is available across multiple digital platforms including: Samsung, Vizio, DistroTV, Xumo, Twitch, ZingoTV and Pluto. FTF can be seen in more than 60 million households worldwide.
