“Lo/Hi,” the brand-new song by The Black Keys, has been tapped to tip-off Turner Sports and CBS Sports coverage of the 2019 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship. The promotional spot features the band performing the song within the National Championship circle of an illuminated bracket and was filmed in a World War II blimp hangar outside of Nashville, shot from various camera angles and using a racing drone that moved around the band at 50-60 miles per hour to create footage that mimics the “intensity and wild ride of the NCAA Tournament.”
The Red Sox struck a deal with MGM Resorts International to serve as a new casino sponsor of the team in a multi-year deal. The company’s roaring lion’s head logo will appear on Fenway Park’s Green Monster with other signage set to be placed behind home plate and on “Red Sox radio and other team controlled media outlets.” In addition, the club’s annual Winter Weekend will now take place at MGM Springfield casino, which opened last year.
The PGA TOUR renewed vows with social video company Brave Bison, which has worked with the org to drive its presence across its portfolio of YouTube channels since 2017. Brave Bison will continue to work in collaboration with the TOUR’s content teams to drive advertising revenue, increase organic views, and generate subscriber growth. In addition, the deal will now expand to the TOUR Facebook page where Brave Bison will help protect its intellectual property across Facebook via rights management as well as advising on Facebook video strategy.
Cloud9 continues to add new sponsors, this time announcing a partnership with BMW to serve as its automotive sponsor. The deal marks BMW’s first team sponsorship in the space.

FACEIT is adding Twitch to serve as a platform partner for season seven of ECS, which had previously been exclusive to YouTube. “The community has made it clear to us that Twitch is important to them as viewers, so we’re delighted to be able to offer them access to ECS on that platform,” said Michele Attisani, Co-Founder & CBO of FACEIT. “ECS has broken records for CS:GO viewership on YouTube over past seasons, and now opening up our distribution gives the community more choice on how they watch their favorite teams compete. Season 7 has seen a number of changes to the format and viewing options to ensure we create exciting, engaging and entertaining content.”
The National Hockey League Players’ Association and National Hockey League (NHL) announced the establishment of the NHL & NHLPA Female Hockey Advisory Committee, dedicated to “accelerating the growth of female hockey in North America while also ensuring more women and girls have the opportunity to experience the benefits that hockey offers.” The new initiative launches during the first-ever Gender Equality Month campaign, part of an expanded effort to celebrate Hockey Is For Everyone year-round. The committee includes 11 women with varied backgrounds and experiences: Michele Amidon, Annie Camins, Maria Dennis, Mandi Duhamel, Lyndsey Fry, Angela James, Tarasai Karega, Kelsey Koelzer, AJ Mleczko Griswold, Caroline Popilchak, and Kristen Wright.
