wedotv unveils FAST sports channel

The AVOD and FAST channel provider wedotv is to launch a FAST sports channel on streaming platforms across German-speaking countries on June 20.

The channel will stream all major German and international horse races live, including the Royal Ascot from June 20-24, 2023 and the US racing event Breeders’ Cup. wedo sports will also live stream the German Sailing Bundesliga, the Sailing Champions League, and SailGP events.

The German-language, 24-hour network will also feature weekly programs with highlights from football, Formula 1, e-sports, martial arts and other sports.

The launch will also showcase programming featuring sporting legends such as Tiger Woods, David Beckham and Michael Schumacher, as well as teams like Manchester United and other well-known national clubs.

wedo sports will roll out on Zattoo, waipu.tv, LG Channels and Vidaa in Germany, with plans to launch the channel on other platforms expected soon.

The sport network will be available on the wedotv website and in all wedotv apps.

“The launch of wedo sports is another piece of our vision to create a complete viewer offering in the German-speaking market,” said Philipp Rotermund, co-CEO and founder of wedotv. “We already had strong viewer and advertiser interest in the sports content on our flagship AVOD service wedotv in Germany, Austria and Switzerland so creating a stand-alone FAST Channel for sports fans in this market was a logical next step. As part of our expansion strategy, we are looking at other markets for wedo sports as well.”
