Chat Sports Announces Record Audience of Over 100 Million in January

SAN FRANCISCO - Feb. 16, 2017 - PRLog -- Chat Sports & Chat Sports Live reached a record audience last month, topping the 100 million mark for the first time. The company's offering, which includes personalized web content, a leading mobile application for iPhone and Android, and the sports industry's foremost Facebook Live studio, delivers digital programming to the mobile-centric demographic.

With the pending release of a dedicated Facebook Live application for television, Chat Sports is continuing to grow its staff in 2017 towards its goal of 24/7 programming across multiple platforms. "The appetite for on-demand, no-strings-attached video content is only growing, and we're thrilled to be a market leader in the space," said Founder and CEO James Yoder.

"We opened the video studio in beta in July when we saw the huge potential of live, up-to-the-minute, and highly social sports programming to enthrall the cord-cutting generation," comments Yoder, "and given the platforms' push for more live video, we're looking forward to the rest of 2017 and beyond."

The company's top shows like NFL Recap & NFL Mock Draft Live have captured a loyal following on Facebook Live. A recent episode of NFL Mock Draft gave the audience unfiltered access to 30 different journalists from across the NFL. Select programming is also available on Twitter Live and coming soon to YouTube Live. The company also has dedicated team-focused content for nine teams, including the Dallas Cowboys, Michigan Wolverines, and the New England Patriots.
