Infront has partnered with sports OTT specialist StreamAMG to launch Ski and Snowboard Live, a new direct-to-consumer service for the US market.
Ski and Snowboard Live provides live streams from international events of the FIS Alpine, Snowboard, Freestyle Ski and Cross Country World Cup, all with English commentary.
The platform will show 160 live races during the 2021/22 season, which are available through an all-inclusive season subscription as well as via pay-per-view.
In addition to live events, the service will also include on-demand content, highlights, interviews, event replays and other behind-the-scenes footage.
StreamAMG’s sports OTT tech powers the live and on-demand delivery of the platform.

This is a unique opportunity for supporters to gain access through a dedicated platform that perfectly serves their expectations in terms of live broadcast and on-demand content.”
