In a bid to improve its live streaming production, the Disc Golf Pro Tour (DGPT) has announced a partnership with SmashboxxTV, effective immediately. This move comes after an initial media strategy that was deemed "not up to par" by DGPT Director Steve Dodge.
The partnership will see SmashboxxTV handle live production duties for the upcoming Play It Again Sports Jonesboro Open and Open Women's events, utilizing the tour's upgraded camera equipment to deliver higher quality footage. The collaboration aims to build on the strengths of both parties, combining the expertise of SmashboxxTV with the DGPT's recent technological advancements.
"We're excited to be working with Smashboxx again," said company co-founder Jonathan Van Duerzen. "Together, we believe we can provide a top-notch viewing experience for fans." The partnership will enable the tour to promote its new ad-serving technology on its dedicated platform, DGPT.tv, which it hopes will attract new sponsors and drive growth in the sport.
To facilitate this change, fans will need to update their bookmarks as the live stream is being shifted from YouTube to DGPT.tv. This move allows the tour to bypass traditional advertising channels and seek outside investments to support its operations.
"We need to find a way to bring in outside investors to grow the sport," Dodge explained. "This new platform gives us a side door into those advertising dollars." The tour has also introduced risk-free advertising opportunities for potential sponsors, allowing them to feature their brand during the live broadcast of the Play It Again Sports Jonesboro Open.
It's worth noting that post-production coverage will remain unaffected, with both the Open and Open Women's cards continuing to be produced by the DGPT's in-house team. The tour is currently exploring options to bring back coverage from companies such as Jomez Productions, Central Coast Disc Golf, but no announcements have been made yet.
The Play It Again Sports Jonesboro Open is set to take place from April 12-14 in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
