Overnght Media Group and USA Water
Polo announced today they have entered into a five-year agreement for Overnght
to become an official content and streaming partner for the governing body's
world-class events, athletes and behind-the-scenes coverage. The new Overnght
deal cements the digital streaming service provider as a leader in domestic
water polo coverage.
USA Water Polo coverage on
Overnght.com will begin on Dec. 7 as the USA Women's National Team heads to
South Florida for a two-game series against world-power Spain, including a
contest in Miami on Dec. 7 and in Fort Lauderdale on Dec. 9. Additional events
to be broadcasted annually by Overnght as part of the deal include the National
League, USA Water Polo Senior Nationals, Division III Men's and Women's
National Championships, and other major annual events.
Matches can be streamed live or
viewed on-demand on Overnght.com, the new home of USA Water Polo, via a premium
subscription. Overnght offers monthly and annual subscription options for fans ready
to catch the action from the pool all season long.
"This agreement is consistent
with our belief that water polo has a real media upside when produced
right," said Chris Ramsey, USA Water Polo CEO. "Overnght appreciates
the dynamics of collegiate and Olympic water polo. We are confident they have
the expertise to produce games that our fans want, which should further expand
our sport's media footprint."
Overnght CEO Kevin McReynolds added:
"It is a tremendous honor to bring world-class matches to water polo
enthusiasts everywhere through Overnght's historic deal with USA Water Polo.
From the pool to the training room and beyond, we plan to provide a new level
of coverage of the teams and personalities representing the sport on the global
stage. Thank you to our new partners at USA Water Polo who will be true
teammates in increasing the sport's visibility."
This agreement furthers Overnght's
ongoing commitment to the water polo community and solidifies the company as a
digital home of water polo. The new deal expands Overnght's coverage of the
country's premier water polo matches. Earlier this year, Overnght entered into
a deal with the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) to become the
league's new live video streaming partner for MPSF Championship events and
select in-season competitions and tournaments.
