词条 | Overtime (sports network) |
释义 |
Overtime is a sports network focused on young, digital-native sports fans. The company’s programming focuses on talented young athletes, in particular high school athletes who play basketball and football. Overtime is a distributed sports network.[1] Instead of offering content through a single channel, Overtime’s programming is available across Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Snapchat, on TV (through a partnership with regional sports network SportsNet New York[2]) and through Overtime itself. Other sports networks, websites, blogs and fans frequently re-share Overtime videos,[3][4][5][6] helping Overtime reach an even larger audience on social, the web, on mobile and on TV. Overtime has helped a number of young high-school athletes reach a national audience, including Rex Cassady, Trae Young, Jordan McCabe and Shareef O'Neal, among others.[7] Its short-form programming is provided by a network of paid contributors, who attend games and upload highlights in real-time from their mobile phones using a special app that makes it easy to capture and produce highlights.[8] Overtime’s longer-form programming (like "Challenge",[9] "Overtime All Access",[10] and "The Book of Luther") is produced by an in-house team. HistoryOvertime was founded in late 2016 by Dan Porter and Zack Weiner. Porter is a serial entrepreneur who sold his previous company, game studio OMGPop, to gaming company Zynga in 2012 for $200 million.[11] After leaving Zynga, he was hired by William Morris Endeavor (WME) to oversee its digital efforts.[12] Weiner was the founder of The Sports Quotient, a platform for college students to write about sports.[13] Overtime initially started as a different sports-focused project within WME. In late 2016, Porter and Weiner left WME and established Overtime as a standalone company, based in Brooklyn, New York.[14] Overtime raised $2.5 million in seed funding in early 2017.[15][16] In the summer and fall of 2017, a series of Overtime videos brought additional attention to the company. The first of these was [https://twitter.com/overtime/status/885632859062636544?lang=en a video] showing a massive block by Zion Williamson, the country’s top-ranked high school player, in July 2017.[17][18] This video was mentioned in a Sports Illustrated cover story on Williamson in August 2017.[19] In February 2018, Overtime announced it had raised $9.5 million in funding from Andreessen Horowitz, Greycroft and a number of other investors.[20] Basketball star Kevin Durant is an investor in Overtime via his investment firm, [https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/18/style/kevin-durant-silicon-valley-golden-state-warriors.html Durant Company].[21] Former NBA commissioner David Stern is also an investor and advisor in Overtime.[22] In April 2018, Overtime hired its first chief content officer Marc Kohn, a former head of programming for Barstool Sports and Bleacher Report; A head of sales, Alex Grant, a former sales executive with Twitter and Snap, Inc; And a head of production, Dave Zigerelli, who has producing credits from ESPN, MTV and Bravo.
