Golf News Net Joins FreeCast’s Free Channels

A new FAST channel dedicated to golf fans and players launches on FreeCast.

FreeCast is announcing the launch of the Golf News Net on its platform. Golf News Net, or GNN, is now available for free to all FreeCast members, and joins hundreds of free FAST channels already available via the service. As more sports transition to streaming distribution, sports channels remain an important part of FreeCast’s free channel offering.

Originally launched in 2003, Golf News Net covers all the latest news and issues surrounding the game of golf. The channel aims to be at the forefront of the discussions that will shape the sport, making it an ideal place to catch the latest breaking news and stories around golf. Already available on a variety of streaming video and radio platforms, GNN reaches an audience of over 4 million people each month.

Tracy West, FreeCast’s Executive Vice President of Digital Content, discussed the popularity of golf and Golf News Net: “Sports content is becoming more important to streaming services right now, so this is great timing for us to add Golf News Net. Golf is one of those sports with fans and players of all ages. It’s an accessible sport and you can play it for life. That makes this content relevant across the country, and it’s a valuable opportunity for advertisers and product-makers to reach a targeted audience, too.”

Ryan Ballengee, Golf News Net founder and owner, said: “We are thrilled to join the lineup at FreeCast, home to a near-limitless wealth of content, particularly for sports fans. Golf is an increasingly global game, with millions of recreational golfers taking up the sport in recent years. Our programming speaks to the golfer and the competitive golf fan alike, and Golf News Net TV will keep them entertained, informed and up-to-date on everything happening in our sport.”
