Flow Sports Celebrates One Year as 'the Home of Sports in the Caribbean'

MIAMI, FL--(Marketwired - Dec 21, 2016) - One year ago, Flow unveiled its new Flow Sports Network, giving fans an exciting and innovative viewing experience, forever changing the game in sports broadcasting in the Caribbean.

In its first year, Flow Sports beamed over 4,000 hours of live and original sports programming in crystal-clear high definition straight from a state-of-the-art 4k-ready broadcast facility in Trinidad. Built around the sports Caribbean fans love -- football, athletics and cricket -- the network aired the biggest events in local, regional and international sports, including last year's FA Cup Final, the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, the Flow CARIFTA Games, the CONCACAF World Cup Qualifiers, the 2016-17 Premier League season and much more.

Not long after the network was launched, Flow also unveiled the Flow Sports app to give fans anytime/anywhere access to its premier sports content. Live and on-demand programming, up-to-date news, statistics, behind-the-scenes footage and more is now available 'on the go' via the app or the website, www.flowsports.co, along with the regular Flow TV options, so fans can take the action with them wherever they go.

"Giving fans unmatched sports content tailored to their specific preference with the ability to watch it all at their leisure, on their device of choice -- that's what Flow Sports is all about," said James Tooke, SVP of Media and Content at Cable & Wireless, operator of Flow. "And in just one year we have become the Caribbean's leading sports network setting the bar for future sports programming across the region. We've given fans what they've always wanted -- a one-stop shop for the content they want to watch."

Indeed, Flow Sports' inaugural year was jammed pack with exciting action for viewers. Looking back on some of the milestones, Tooke said: "We became the Official Broadcast Partner and Sponsor of the Flow CARIFTA Games, broadcasting the competition in HD for the first time ever -- not just across the Caribbean, but also to more than 20 million households worldwide. We were the Official Broadcast Partner of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, too, and enabled fans to stream over 4.4 million minutes of action across our FlowtoRio2016Extra app and microsite, with 4.6 million people also tuning into our 3 dedicated Olympic channels. We became home to the Indian Premier League; brought behind-the-scenes coverage of the Super Bowl to fans of American football; hosted watch parties for Manchester United fans; and the list goes on. It was a truly exceptional first year - one we'll always remember."
