In 2019, the world faced an unprecedented challenge with the onset of an international pandemic. Schools, businesses, and sports were forced to close their doors, disrupting lives and routines across the globe. As we navigated through 2020 and emerged from the worst of the pandemic, Brent Raeth, the founding and managing partner of CatchMark Technologies, identified a pressing need in our community.
With many events limited to just two spectators per athlete, countless family members, friends, and coworkers found themselves unable to support their teams in person. Recognizing this gap, Brent devised an innovative solution: live streaming. This technology enabled people to watch games and events from the safety and comfort of their homes.
The initiative proved to be a resounding success, but it also highlighted the need for a dedicated platform to sustain and expand this endeavor. Thus, CatchMark SportsNet was born as a new sector of CatchMark Technologies, committed to bringing sports and media to audiences everywhere.
CatchMark SportsNet continues to revolutionize how we experience and support sports, ensuring that no one has to miss out on the action, no matter where they are.
