- With Sportworld on Samsung Smart TVs, B1 SmartTV is launching a unique sports platform that gives fans centralized and clear access to the variety of sports.
- Sportworld aggregates all sports content and acts as a showcase for all sports providers.
- With the exclusive “Samsung Sport Package”, B1 SmartTV bundles twelve well-known sports broadcasters, including from the fields of football, motorsport, eSports and fitness.
- As part of the current Samsung “Made for Germany” campaign, buyers of a new Samsung promotional TV will receive the “Samsung Sport Package” in Sportworld for up to 12 months free of charge.
- In addition to the Smart TV app, Sportworld will soon also be available as a mobile app (iOS & Android). The linking of both devices overcomes the media break and will ensure innovative and fully synchronized interaction options in the future.
The fragmented sports rights landscape is making it increasingly difficult for fans to follow their favorite sport. The biggest challenge for those interested in sports at the moment: keeping track. The much-cited question “Where is actually running when, what?” B1 SmartTV answers with the new sports platform Sportworld.
The diversity of sport
With the launch of the new Sportworld on Samsung Smart TVs, B1 SmartTV now gives all sports fans centralized and clear access to the variety of sports. Sportworld aggregates all sports content with the further developed EPG function, which is fed from over 35 sports broadcasters. In this way, Sportworld becomes a shop window for all sports providers.
Gerd Weiner, Managing Director of B1 SmartTV, sees great new potential here:
“With Sportworld, we bring together what belongs together: sports content providers and sports fans. Sportworld gives everyone interested in sports an overview of current and upcoming live events from all types of sports. For sports providers, clubs and associations, this means one thing above all: visibility. In the future we will also provide sports rights holders with customizable content channels.”
B1 SmartTV creates exclusive “Samsung Sport Package”
Sportworld makes it easy for sports fans to secure the variety of sports with just one comprehensive subscription. Because the exclusive “Samsung Sport Package” from B1 SmartTV bundles the pay offers from twelve well-known sports broadcasters. The offer initially costs EUR 14.99 per month. But even without a subscription, sports fans get their money’s worth. In addition to the EPG function, all Sportworld users can look forward to a specially curated “24/7 Sportworld” channel, which makes highlight formats from the broadcast partners freely accessible and thus enables insights into the quality of the package.
The following sports providers will be integrated into the “Samsung Sport Package” at the start: eSPORTS1, SPORT1+, SportBild+, SPORTDIGITAL FUSSBALL, European League of Football, Motorvision.TV, Sportdeutschland.TV, ClipMyHorse.TV, fight24.tv, More Than Sports TV, Fitness Nation, EDGEsport
Made for Germany
Sportworld is part of Samsung’s current nationwide “Made for Germany” campaign. Anyone who purchases a Samsung promotional device from the current 2022 model series will receive the “Samsung Sport Package” in Sportworld for up to 12 months – depending on the model category – free of charge.
Mike Henkelmann, Director Marketing Consumer Electronics at Samsung Electronics, welcomes the cooperation: “We are certain: this year’s Sportworld will make sports fans’ hearts beat faster. With the exclusive Samsung Sport Package from Sportworld, the offer of our “Made for Germany” campaign is perfectly rounded off.”
The end of the media break
With the help of the latest technologies, B1 SmartTV is also heralding the end of the media break: the Sportworld mobile app, which will be released shortly, will enable users to have latency-free and smart interaction options between Smart TV and mobile device. In Sportworld, for example, selected live events can be experienced with the patented “NativeWaves EXP” multi-view technology from B1 SmartTV partner NativeWaves.
“With NativeWaves EXP, sports fans experience their favorite events in a new, personalized and immersive way, and become much more involved in the action,” said Christof Haslauer, CEO of NativeWaves.
