Dailymotion, the world’s second largest video portal, is building upon its sports content through a strategic partnership with sntv.
A joint venture between IMG and Associated Press, sntv is the world’s leading sports video news agency. Its sole aim is to provide the best, most relevant, comprehensive and fast sports news service there is. Founded in 1996, sntv has become an indispensable service for more than 400 international broadcasters and digital platforms. Over the years sntv has developed relationships with all of the major rights-holders to enable it to cover the majority of the most prestigious global sports or events.
sntv’s crews are present at all major sporting events such as the Olympic Games, World Cup, Grand Slam tennis events and major golf tournaments. From there they provide previews and reaction with all interviews done in both English and native tongue whenever possible. This content will be uploaded onto Dailymotion (approximately ten videos per day) and available free of charge to Dailymotion’s viewers around the world.
Marc Eychenne, Head of International Content at Dailymotion, says: “Dailymotion is committed to growing its sports content, to deliver its global audience with access to the most up to date sports news, live games and competitions, as well as archived and VOD material. Our deal with sntv is the next step in this progression and will deliver many hours of sports news to our archive of sports content. We intend to build on this in the coming months with further deals for live and archived sports content, all designed to make Dailymotion the home of sport online.”
Elizabeth Eastham, Sales Manager of sntv said, “The partnership with Dailymotion is very exciting as it brings the breadth and editorial quality of sntv to a broader digital audience. We are continually extending our market-leading services and working with Daily Motion ensures we can have additional platform to deliver relevant sports news to the global audience.’’
