YES Network has become the first sports network to create a single-screen interactive stats experience on connected devices. The live stats feature debuted during Tuesday’s matchup between the New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners. At the moment, the experience is available on Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV and Google TV, and follows a model similar to Thursday Night Football and other sports programming on Amazon Prime Video.
The YES Live Stats package updates information in real-time to keep fans informed about their favorite teams and players. Live batter and pitcher stats, play-by-play and pitch-by-pitch features are integrated into the viewing experience. Additionally, viewers can toggle between viewing the batting order, defensive alignment and available bench and bullpen arms. The technology is powered by Ease Live, an Everetz company, and the YES App has a similar feature for Brooklyn Nets live game broadcasts.
This new experience can be controlled through a mobile device or with a television remote. YES Network also expects to launch two features for its app as second-screen experiences on connected devices in the next few months. Pick-N-Play Live is a real-time prediction game accompanying the broadcast and keeps fans engaged and consumed in the action through the ability to make their voice heard. Watch Party connects friends with one another as the game is going on and provides video chat capabilities in conjunction with the game broadcast.
