"New York City is a mecca for basketball and this season’s NBA All-Star Game is the perfect opportunity to give back to the city that has meant so much to the game,” said NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. “Beginning today and throughout the season, we will celebrate the game by bringing to the youth of New York, across all five boroughs, community-based programs that focus on basketball, fitness, nutrition and healthy living.”
Bellator MMA has teamed up with technology partner Reality Check Systems to drive social media, integrating live MMA fan Tweets into to Spike TV’s Fight Night match broadcasts and allowing fans to react to comments from other fans in-real time and see those comments on-screen. The setup has already been tested in two live fights and is slated for use in eight more this year, as well as the season’s culminating Bellator 131. “Many of our fans are already engaging with the brand across our various social channels, so we wanted to provide them with even more connectivity to fight nights on Spike TV,” said Eric Burak, VP Digital, Bellator MMA. “Our partnership with RCS has enabled us to do just that. By elevating the social conversation to the broadcast, we’ve further expanded our offering beyond the television screen,resulting in a more immersive, interactive experience that encourages social engagement and connects audiences more closely to the sport.”
