Broadcaster of the Euroleague and the men’s Eurocup, Skweek, the new basketball broadcasting platform, also extends to two women’s clubs, Tango Bourges and Basket Landes.
Its director, Oleg Petrov, has great ambitions to popularize this sport.
The Skweek platform, whose name is supposed to recall “the noise that shoes make on the floor during a match”, was launched last October by the leaders of FedCom Media, majority shareholder of the AS Monaco basketball club. As soon as it went online, it became the main broadcaster for European Euroleague and Eurocup men’s competitions. Live streams, replays, behind-the-scenes reports from competitions and shows with seasoned commentators like David Cozette, Julie Yalap and Stephen Brun, nothing is left to chance for this basketball “Netflix”, accessible by subscription. at the price of €7.99 per month. The young platform quickly extended its offer to women’s basketball by acquiring the rights to broadcast the home games of two clubs, Tango Bourges and Basket Landes, in the women’s Euroleague. Oleg Petrov, managing director of Fedcom Media and Skweek, talks about this original project to broadcast French sport. He shares his ambitions to grow the platform, with a focus on women’s basketball.
