ATP Media, Play Anywhere, And Ease Live Deliver Global Interactive Broadcast Experiences

ATP Media, the global media and distribution arm of the ATP Tour, announces a multi-year strategic partnership with Play Anywhere. The agreement establishes Play Anywhere as the exclusive provider of contextual and monetizable interactive experiences across all of ATP Media’s broadcast and streaming distribution worldwide.

Based on Play Anywhere’s interactive rights framework, the partnership enables ATP Media to provide engaging interactive experiences powered by official data from Tennis Data Innovations “TDI” to their fans worldwide while ensuring that production quality is preserved through the Play Anywhere compliance platform.

Play Anywhere will be offered to ATP Media’s worldwide broadcast partners and launched via its direct-to-consumer streaming service Tennis TV, across both linear and digital distribution. The system includes Ease Live’s front-end television-quality interactive graphics engine.

The partnership follows Play Anywhere’s launches with LALIGA and at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Play Anywhere’s LALIGA launch has engaged sports fans around the world, and their first-of-its-kind approved Olympics interactivity was enjoyed by viewers in over a dozen countries across more than 30 sports. This partnership with ATP Media further cements Play Anywhere’s position as the leader in interactivity compliance and monetization.
