The metadata provider MetaProfile has launched Global Sport Hub, a sports content platform and business unit to help sports content publishers and broadcasters retain and unlock their sports content value.
The platform, which is highly automated and designed using ML and AI algorithms, has more than 1,500 channels airing sports across six continents and over 70 countries.
At the centre of the Global Sport Hub platform is MetaProfile’s Sports Business Unit, which employs sports enthusiasts and metadata specialists. They have the task of extracting, organising, and validating all schedules from major and small sports TV broadcasters around the world. By integrating enriched sports EPG with all major sports and leagues’ live scores, stats feeds, pre-match and in-play data through one MetaProfile Sports ID, Global Sport Hub has become the central place for worldwide sports metadata content.
Commenting on the platform, Admir Dozovic, the CEO of MetaProfile.tv, said: “With the development of new and interactive TV features, the importance of premium, enriched, and innovative metadata has become a critical part of every TV interface. Today’s TV interfaces are modular, flexible, and push TV content visuals to the front. All of this reveals metadata quality at first sight, therefore no one can afford to have inaccurate, generic, or non-creative metadata on their platform. Providing only event images and posters with basic sports scores is not enough to justify sports packages’ premium price, and every Telco should think twice before selecting their metadata provider. MetaProfile’s Sports team has spent several years collecting, preparing, and enriching sports metadata for all small and big sports broadcasts around the world. Our most comprehensive database of unique team vs team and player vs player imagery with live in-game sports data and highlights for more than 2k sports leagues across 6 continents and 70+ countries will finally make every TV platform exactly where their sports fans want it to be. We are now ready to help our partners, sports content publishers, and broadcasters retain and unlock their sports content value”.
