Yahoo! Debuts "MLB.com Full Count" — A New Digital Baseball Experience
Available now: Daily live in-game programming, video highlights and best-of-moments only on Yahoo! Sports and MLB.com
Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ:YHOO), the premier digital media company, announced the debut of MLB.com Full Count, a new online video offering produced and powered by MLB.com in partnership with Yahoo! Sports that lets fans follow live Major League Baseball action throughout the remainder of the regular season. MLB.com Full Count is available exclusively on Yahoo! Sports and MLB.com.
MLB.com Full Count features live look-ins to key plays and pivotal moments and in-progress video highlights from around the league, as well as statistical data and historical footage relevant to the day's action. Additionally, fans can pause the live action or navigate back to content from earlier in the video stream to catch up on events from earlier in the day. MLB.com Full Count also includes an embedded Twitter feed for tracking MLB.com insiders, Yahoo! baseball reporters, expert analysts choosing upcoming live looks and social media activity buzzing around live MLB games.
"This product continues our seven-year relationship with MLB.com and builds on our leadership as the No. 1 general sports site online," said Ken Fuchs, vice president, Yahoo! Media Network. "MLB.com is one of our most innovative partners, and they have delivered a product that will provide avid baseball fans a fast-paced daily destination to follow their teams and the biggest games, players and moments as well as unique video and integrated solutions for our advertising partners."
"We have built Full Count to deliver MLB highlights to fans as they happen in a user-friendly, media-rich environment," said Kenny Gersh, senior vice president, business development, MLB.com. "We are pleased to continue to bring MLB content to Yahoo!'s massive audience."
MLB.com Full Count expands the Yahoo! Sports platform, offering advertisers the best sports portfolio online and providing the opportunity for marketers to align their brands with premium video content to target the most passionate baseball fans throughout North and Latin America.
In 2012, MLB.com Full Count will cover the entire regular season beginning with the first full day of games. It also will expand distribution to mobile and tablet devices and further integrate scores, news, social media and fantasy baseball information. Pursuant to the agreement signed earlier this summer, MLB.com also is providing Yahoo! access to daily highlights from every game.
