Chris Schieman Media provides remote and in-person basketball-specific live streaming services. Since 2001 I have utilized the internet to broadcast college and professional athletic events. With two decades of sports broadcasting experience, I know how to create an entertaining and engaging broadcast for your next game!
I have covered hundreds of collegiate, professional and national championships. See examples of some of the sports that I have called below.
My basketball play-by-play services are requested often because my clients know they can expect an engaging, professional production. I go the extra mile for my clients by including free custom graphics, commercial production and interviews for your college, tournament, or team.
Using my services is a more professional alternative to video-only broadcasts with little production value. Those differences mean better audience numbers and revenue opportunities. In the 2016-2017 broadcast year, I personally produced and broadcast 80 games all over the United States. Those broadcasts were viewed over 74,500 times, an average of 931 viewers per broadcast!
Strong viewer numbers and audience engagement can help attract sponsors to the broadcasts. Because I allow my clients to sell ad time on each broadcast, they can approach potential business partners with confidence knowing that the they can expect results.
