PT Sportsuite And Psa Launch Squashtv
London-based PT SportSuite, the digital platform partner to the Professional Squash Association (PSA), has announced the relaunch of SQUASHTV, the PSA’s official live and on-demand streaming platform serving the global squash community.
The relaunch will have a particular focus on improving squash fans’ user experience across the platforms with live tournament streaming, full match replays, highlights, coaching tips, exclusive content for premium subscribers and player profiles featuring latest results, statistics and player-specific video content.
Alex Gough, PSA CEO, said, “In the 2021-22 season, fans requested 2.6-million video plays on SQUASHTV and watched 69m minutes of live and on-demand squash. With the current season shaping up to be our biggest season yet, we are adding coverage of a wider range of tournaments worldwide to bring even more squash directly to our fans.
“The PT SportSuite team have helped bring our vision to life with these new launches, and we look forward to collaborating with them on the exciting developments in the pipeline to keep building more experiences for our fans.”
The relaunch of SQUASHTV and the PSA World Tour website followed PT SportSuite’s decision to accelerate its video OTT offering just as Covid-19 struck in 2020 to provide the sports market with its high-quality and cost-effective AWS streaming alternative. The relaunch of SQUASHTV represents PT’s first fully-realised streaming ecosystem for a professional sport’s global player governing body.
PT SportSuite, CTO Clinton Bosch, said, “The PT team have had some fantastic moments over the past three years, and this milestone for our video OTT programme is certainly one of them.
“We’re excited to be partnering with the PSA to bring live coverage of more than 800 live matches, 600+ hours of broadcast and 5000+ matches on demand to squash fans, helping them meet the streaming trend head-on for a diverse and passionate sports community.”
