December 13, 2023
FreeCast is announcing a partnership with acTVe, bringing five sports-focused channels to the company’s collection of over 700 free streaming channels. Each channel is based on one of The Arena Group’s iconic brands: Surfer Magazine, Powder Magazine, Transworld Skateboarding, Bike Mag, and Snowboarder, providing robust content from each of the action sports and lifestyle verticals.
Surfer comes from the renowned magazine of the same name, known as the “Bible of surfing” since 1960. Powder is the most trusted name in skiing, covering every aspect of the sport. Skate features content from Transworld Skateboarding, the biggest skateboarding brand in the world. Bike Mag showcases the sport of mountain biking like no other channel can. Snowboarder is the ultimate authority on snowboard culture.
These channels showcase an extensive collection of exclusive premium content sourced from the robust libraries of these renowned brands. Viewers can expect thousands of hours of content, including documentary features, shorts, original series, live events, and much more. “These channels will deliver the ultimate sports experience, representing the very best each sport has to offer through the backing of their respective premier brands – a truly exceptional blend," remarked Geoff Clark, CEO of acTVe.
FreeCast’s Executive Vice President of Digital Content, Tracy West, talked about the broad appeal of these sports channels. “These channels are special because they deal with the types of sports that their viewers actively participate in. In mountainous parts of the country, skiing and snowboarding are part of the culture. In Florida and California, surfing is more than just a pastime for many. That gives these channels a real connection with their audiences and with whole parts of the country.”
