ViewLift's Major Expansion with Comcast
In a bold step towards expanding its reach, ViewLift, a leader in digital solutions tailored for sports and media content owners, has just integrated its services into Comcast's prominent platforms—Xfinity and Xumo. The launch not only widens its distribution network but also signifies a pivotal moment in the company's journey within the digital entertainment landscape.
This strategic move enables ViewLift-powered applications, such as Monumental Sports Network's
Monumental+ and Altitude Sports'
Altitude+, to cater to a wider audience through Xfinity X1, Xfinity Flex, Xumo TV, and Xumo Stream Box. This integration facilitates access to live games, exclusive programming, and behind-the-scenes content from prominent teams including the Washington Capitals, Wizards, and Mystics, as well as the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche. The potential reach now extends to millions of households across their respective broadcast territories, marking a significant leap forward in ViewLift's mission to provide innovative and accessible sports content.
Rick Allen, CEO of ViewLift, expressed enthusiasm over this development: “We’re excited to extend Monumental+ and Altitude+ to fans through Comcast’s Xfinity and Xumo devices. This milestone reflects our commitment to delivering premium content with unmatched accessibility and user experience.” The integration undoubtedly aligns with the growing demand for digital sports content as more fans turn to online platforms for their viewing needs.
