Operating for 1‐5 years
Our goal at SportsCanada.TV is to continue to grow into the largest amateur sports network in Canada, and to be able to attract enough corporate sponsorship that we can provide our production services to event hosts completely free of charge.
SportsCanada.TV has provided Canadian amateur sports fans a network that allows them the opportunity to watch their favorite sporting events live. Our new media outlet has dramatically increased the coverage of amateur sports in Canada and is giving our Canadian athletes the much needed exposure they deserve. We are on pace to double our web traffic from last year... we look like we will hit an incredible 4,000,000 page views in 2012 alone.
We project that TV and the internet will continue to merge and we will be providing exclusive online coverage for over 25 sports in Canada and reach over 2 million page views a month by 2017.
Post the archive of every event broadcast we have done to date
Start to interact with fans on social media and reach 2000 followers on Twitter
Create a partnership with the CCAA and have every college in Canada broadcasting on SportsCanada.TV
Purchase enough equipment to cover 3 simultaneous full production events
Have all the High School Championships in BC, Alberta and Ontario broadcast on SportsCanada.TV
Create a partnership with the CIS and have every university in Canada broadcasting on SportsCanada.TV
We webcast the events for a number of National Sports Organizations including Canada Basketball, Volleyball Canada, Rugby Canada, Wheelchair Basketball Canada and Ringette Canada.
We also work closely with the CCAA and 40 of its colleges and universities members and are currently working on a partnership with the CIS and its members.
This past March we started working with the Provincial High School associations in BC, Alberta and Ontario.
We also have a partnership with the BCIT broadcasting program and we hire their students to do our productions.
We originally focused on events in Western Canada, specifically BC and Alberta but now we are looking to expand our coverage into Eastern Canada as well. I believe it is important to engage and unite the whole country in sport so athletes can benchmark themselves against the best athletes in the country.
Although we are a tech company, we are run by sports minded people as apposed to people with tech backgrounds. This makes it easy for us to interact with our clients. Our sports background also gives us a competitive edge that will help our innovation be successful.
