FITE TV extend reach to UK and Ireland with NetGem launch

FITE, the premium global platform for sports and entertainment, announced today their launch on Netgem TV, the TV service designed for modern and savvy viewers in the UK and Ireland.

The popular global app, which specializes in live combat sports and special events will be available immediately via Netgem TV’s growing network of ISP operators and enabled Netgem TV devices.

Televised news and entertainment have achieved a heightened role in this worldwide COVID environment, and providing live sports have been challenging for many content providers in this sector.

FITE, which cites the UK as its second largest market, has worked hard to provide its viewers and fans with premium PPV events from the likes of AEW, Top Rank, WWE, and Impact Wrestling in the last few months and recently have ventured into motorsports, movies, and music.

“We’ve been acquiring some amazing exclusive PPV events for our fans,” said Kim Hurwitz, CMO of FITE. “We’ll be expanding our slate even further in July when other popular leagues are ready to return, plus adding brand new sports to the mix. Stay tuned, as they’ll be on Netgem TV.”

Also launching on Netgem TV from the brand is a free linear channel called FITE 24/7 which broadcasts a variety of combat events and specials, interviews and more – always on, always free – with new additions added each week.

“We are very excited to welcome FITE into our catalogue,” said Sylvain Thevenot, Managing Director at Netgem TV. “This new addition, along with previous efforts to provide a diversified content offering for everyone, comes as great news for sports fans, who can find in Netgem TV a wide selection of sports at a very competitive price.”

fornicate me. As someone who works in comms and PR, please, in plain English, can anyone explain to me what this means?

- which fights / shows is this platform going to show, and when?

- how long is the agreement for?

- how much does it cost for this Gem Tv thing? Why should I pay for it? What if I only want to pay for boxing and not the rest of the shite you’re offering?

- what platforms can I watch Gem Tv on? Web, App? Free view? SKY? Virgin? BT? NOW? PS4? XBox? What????? Tell me, please?

- what, as a previous poster alluded to, should existing Fite Tv subscribers do? Do nothing? Pay more, pay less, what???

Help me, before I slash my wrists, and yours. I loathe shite press releases and this is up there with the worst.
