<p>Thursday 30th March will see the start of a bumper weekend of youth football kick off on Recast with more than 480 up-coming football stars, from 12 different countries taking part in 4 global competitions.</p>
<p>The four competitions, running up until Monday 3rd April, will see UK &amp; Northern Ireland competition The hummel Centenary Shield, Dubai based Mina Cup 2023, the Primavera Championship, where Inter Milan Under 19s take on Sassuolo, and the Italian U17 Championship, all broadcast live and exclusively on Recast.</p>
<p>Unlike other platforms, the revenue made from fans watching the matches on Recast will generate much needed income for each youth football tournament, with 85% of the revenue from each match going straight back into the sport.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Luke Hampton, England U18 Schoolboy&#8217;s Team Manager, said:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>I am delighted to see our games broadcast on Recast this year. It is great exposure for the players and an opportunity for them to showcase their talents to the wider football community. It also helps raise the profile and prestige of the Centenary Shield, an historic and prestigious home nations competition. It is also great to see more coverage of schools&#8217; football and shows a real investment back in the game at this level.</p></blockquote>
<p>The action kicks off on Thursday 30th March when Northern Ireland take on their rivals Republic of Ireland in an eagerly anticipated clash in The hummel Centenary Shield. On Friday all eyes turn to Glasgow as Scotland take on England in the second Centenary Shield match of the week.</p>
<p>At noon (GMT) on Saturday Inter Milan Under 19s take on Sassuolo in round 25 of the Primavera Championship and at 9am (GMT) on Sunday Inter Milan U17s take on Cagliari in round 24 of the Italian U17 Championship. Rounding off the weekend of youth football competitions, Recast fans will be able to tune into the Dubai based Mina Cup 2023 tournament which kicks off on Saturday afternoon. Running right up until Monday afternoon the top youth teams from around the world including Yokohama FC, Barcelona, Manchester City and New York Red Bulls, will battle it out to win the prestigious title.</p>
<p>Having the games covered is great for the players, as the film crew add to the occasion at the games. It has also allowed family and friends who could not attend matches to see the players play on the international stage which for many adds to the pride of playing for their country. From a career point of view it gives players an opportunity to perform to a wider audience, which can undoubtedly put them on a platform to impress clubs &amp; coaches beyond their regular audience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Craig Johnstone, Scotland U18 Schoolboy&#8217;s Team Manager, said:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>It is incredibly important to us to support youth sport across the globe and ensure that organisations of all sizes have access to technology which can be used to digitally transform their organisations. Our unique microtransaction solution puts the control back into the hands of the fans by giving them the flexible, affordable, subscription-free access to watch events whilst generating maximum income for the clubs, leagues and sports themselves.</p></blockquote>

<p>We&#8217;re delighted to see youth football tournaments like The hummel Centenary Shield and the MINA Cup utilise our platform for what is going to be a massive weekend of youth football, with almost 500 children competing on the small screen. Best of luck to those involved this weekend!</p></blockquote>
<p>Fans can tune into all the action across the weekend with the comfort of knowing revenue from each match will be going back to their favourite competition. And as Recast is subscription-free, fans will only pay for the matches they want to watch on a PPV basis.</p>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Today, Inter launched a new original production, ‘Footsteps’ which will closely follow Nerazzurri first team players, providing fans with full access to their personal journey and insight, including the secret to their success in becoming a footballer and wearing the Inter shirt.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>The first episode of ‘Footsteps’ which is available now, exclusively on Inter’s Recast channel, features first player Robin Gosens. In the episode, Gosens talks candidly about his childhood, when he started playing football, the ups and downs before breaking through, playing for the German national team, and triumphs in a Nerazzurri shirt.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>In this new weekly series, Footsteps will tell the personal stories behind the players of the Nerazzurri first team, as they talk about their careers from the beginning until now, including their most important milestones, their idols and most memorable matches, while also answering many questions about their private and professional lives.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Footsteps is available exclusively on Recast, the platform on which Inter &#8211; the only club in Italy &#8211; joined last August.

<p><strong>Founder and CEO Andy Meikle shares his thoughts on Recast&#8217;s achievements over the last 12 months.</strong></p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>It’s been an incredible year for Recast. As we look back on 2022, it’s safe to say we’ve come a very long way in terms of the significant growth and development of our platform, as we continue to drive a real, generational change to democratise the distribution of content.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>This year has not been without its challenges. We are a startup, trying to build something exceptional in a very difficult economic climate. The remarkable progress that we have made in 2022 is a testament not only to the strength of our platform, but also to the hard work and dedication of the fantastic team here at Recast, and I would like to thank every single one of them for their resilience and determination.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>We have welcomed some fantastic names from the world of sports and entertainment to Recast this year. From footballing giants Manchester City and FC Internazionale Milano, to world renowned DJ Cuppy and leading automotive content creator Seen Through Glass, our roster of publishers (content creators and rights holders) is expanding all the time, as more and more publishers realise the game changing potential of our platform to monetise their content effectively. </p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>In April we launched Recast Publish, giving publishers complete control over how their content is streamed, shared and monetised on Recast. Recast Publish enables publishers to set their own price-per-view, restrict content by geographical location, and easily collaborate with other creators, partners and brands using our unique Smart Contract and incentivised sharing functionality. We are constantly working to enhance the publisher experience on Recast, and we’ll continue to develop and introduce new features next year.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Throughout 2022 we have also made some big changes for fans on Recast. Our platform is now available in 100 countries, catering for multiple languages and currencies. We are actively challenging outdated subscription and advertising models and earlier this month we introduced Data Profile, a new feature that provides full transparency and rewards users who choose to share their data with our advertisers. Data Profile’s functionality will continue to develop, with further updates planned for the new year to give fans the option of sharing zero party data with Recast publishers of their choice, providing those publishers with valuable insights into their fan base, and enabling them to reward fans for their loyalty and support.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>A huge thank you to all our publishers and the fans that have joined Recast this year. It’s great to have you on board and we look forward to an even bigger and better 2023.</p>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Today, Swindon Town launch a new ten-part documentary series, providing fans with an in-depth look behind the scenes of their current 2022/23 season and what went before.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Available exclusively on the club’s Recast channel, ‘A New Dawn takes a deep dive into various elements of the football club, from the management, players and fans to the backroom staff that keep Swindon Town moving forward, as the club recovers from one of the toughest periods in its long history.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Highlights from the ten gripping episodes include a chat with owner Clem Morfuni on his takeover and ambitious plans for the future, a look behind the scenes at First-Team Head Coach Scott Lindsey’s match day routine, and an insight into how Swindon is using data to drive its decision making with Technical Director Sandro Di Michele.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">

</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>“Increased competition for ever-decreasing broadcast and sponsorship deals across what is an exhausted landscape, exacerbated further by the current cost of living crisis, has combined to put greater pressure on football clubs at every level to generate more revenue.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>“This season has seen us drastically reduce debts, appoint a new manager and sign more than twenty new players as we look to challenge the top sides in the division for promotion.</p>

Swindon Town FC launch new ten-part docuseries ‘A New Dawn’, exclusively on Recast

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Recast is thrilled to announce the launch of <a href="https://watch.recast.tv/user/8dA1o" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Behind The Glass</a>, a new channel from content creator Sam Fane, who runs Seen Through Glass, one of the leading automotive channels on YouTube, with a global audience of 5,000,000 people per month across various social media platforms.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>The Behind The Glass Recast channel will feature an array of new and existing content, giving fans exclusive video access to Sam’s hugely popular ‘Behind the Glass’ podcast, which he hosts alongside used car salesman Tony Gravelwood. The channel will also host the return of the ‘After the Chequered Flag’ F1 series, which Sam co-hosts with Paul Wallace, founder of SuperCars of London. Both series will be shown in video format for the first time on Recast.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Sam has major ambitions to grow his Recast channel and audience, with plenty of new content in the offing for his fans, including some behind the scenes footage from his life on the road.

</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p><strong>Sam has set up his Recast channel to replace his Patreon, here’s what he had to say about his move:</strong> “We’re really excited to set up shop on Recast. It feels like an exciting new chapter for our podcast. The opportunity for us to expand beyond the confines of Patreon and other social media platforms is really exciting. We can create more, reward our fans more and earn more.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>“Recast provides a platform for us to step up our content offering and properly grow our audience. Not only does the platform reward us fairly for putting in the time to create quality content but it also provides a flexible and affordable system for fans through one-off payments, or the option to earn additional credit by sharing content, data or by watching ads. That in turn incentivises and allows us to create loads more exclusive content for our fans. So simply, it’s a win-win!”</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p><strong>Andy Meikle, Founder and CEO of Recast, said:</strong><strong><br></strong>“It’s a real pleasure to welcome Sam and the Behind The Glass team to Recast. As a major motoring fan myself, I’m looking forward to checking out their exclusive content over the coming months.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">

<p>Recast, the revolutionary, subscription-free streaming platform, is today announcing the launch of ‘Data Profile’, a unique feature providing fans complete control over how their personal data is shared with advertisers on Recast, rewarding those who choose to share their data.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Major streaming platforms are sharing huge amounts of data on their users, offering very little control or reward in return &#8211; ultimately, the major platforms and third parties benefit, and users are left in the dark about how their personal data is being used, and receive little to no benefit in return.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>‘Data Profile’ offers a radical alternative to existing online advertising models, providing transparency over the use of personal data and rewarding consumers with additional credits to watch content on the platform. The new feature puts the control back in the hands of the fans, rewarding them rather than the platform provider for sharing their data. Fans can also choose to opt-in or out of sharing their data at any time.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Recast’s platform is powered by microtransactions. Fans can buy or earn ‘Cast Credits’ via an in-platform currency, and use them to purchase live and on demand content from a rapidly expanding roster of sports and entertainment publishers that includes Manchester City FC, Inter Milan and DJ and host of BBC1Xtra’s Sunday Breakfast Show, Cuppy.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Fans can earn Cast Credits by choosing to watch adverts on Recast, and will now be able to opt-in or out of sharing personal anonymised data such as their date of birth, address, and gender with Recast and advertisers on the platform. Fans who choose to share this data with advertisers will earn a higher number of Cast Credits than those who watch adverts without sharing data, as well as benefiting from more relevant ads.</p>

<p>PIONEERING subscription-free live and on-demand video streaming platform Recast has today unveiled new technology that will make it easier for rights holders across the global sports and entertainment landscape to control and monetise their content.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The new proprietary technology featured in Recast Publish also enables rights holders to create and manage content across multiple channels with multiple admins, as well as providing direct access to their data and statistics including video performance, earnings and Fan engagement.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>The launch of Recast Publish is the most significant technological advance yet for the Scottish-based OTT streaming platform, which enables rights holders to fully control and monetise their content without the significant costs of creating their own OTT platform.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Rights holders already reaping the benefits of Recast include Hibernian FC, Millwall FC and the World Curling Federation, with fans from across the world streaming affordable content every day across the platform’s 150 channels. The content offered across Channels ranges from live streams to on-demand content, including exclusive behind the scenes access to interviews and original content.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Among Recast’s early adopters is the British Fencing Association, who have been using the platform since October 2021 to stream a range of content from live national championships to on-demand interviews and news. Following a successful trial of Recast Publish, the association has hailed the new platform and its new functionality, which will enable them to further utilise the platform to give their fans the content they want, and gain vital new revenue through their digital content.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p><strong>James Craig, Head of Commercial, British Fencing Association said:</strong>&nbsp;“We are really pleased to now have access to Recast Publish as a new publishing platform. It looks great, is easy to use and it&#8217;s incredibly helpful for us to have direct access to our statistics and data.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>“The increased access and control of our channel&#8217;s management will allow us to move forward with Recast, and to ensure we are giving our fans the content they want from British Fencing.”</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p><strong>Andy Meikle, Recast Founder and CEO, said:</strong>&nbsp;“Recast has experienced massive growth over our first year. The launch of Recast Publish marks an exciting and significant milestone, it&#8217;s a product development we are very proud of as we strive to provide our Publishers with the best platform possible.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>“It provides the flexibility and freedom our Publishers want while also delivering an enhanced, affordable offering for the most important people – their Fans.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“It doesn’t stop here of course, the Recast team will continue to innovate and scale up to further cement our position within this exciting sector.”</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Recast’s announcement arrives as the industry reacts to Netflix’s loss of more than 200,000 subscribers in the first three months of 2022. Meikle believes the news comes as yet another indication of continued subscription fatigue, which is exacerbated by the ongoing cost of living crisis – further reinforcing the need for access to more affordable and flexible streaming, as that offered by Recast.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>He added: “The way consumers access content has changed. The recent news of Netflix’s loss of more than 200,000 subscribers is a clear demonstration of the subscription fatigue that’s driving that change. The subscription model isn’t sustainable. Viewers want flexible, affordable options that allow them to watch what they want, when they want it, without commitment. That’s why we started Recast – to provide a solution to a problem that is becoming more apparent, and Netflix’s Q1 results are just the tip of the iceberg.”</p>

<p>Speaking as the four-day event kicked off in Perth on Thursday, Mouat, who skippered Team GB’s men’s team to silver in Beijing, said: “The Olympics is the biggest stage in curling for us, so to represent Great Britain on that stage and play the championship the way we did and get to that play off, we felt like we were in a really good spot.

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Hibernian Women’s captain Joelle Murray believes the match being broadcast is one of many &#8220;positive steps&#8221; in the game, and said that working towards clubs across the board going full-time is key to driving up standards and competition.</p>

</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Murray, 34, who has 48 caps for Scotland, said: “Broadcasting this weekend’s match is one of several positive steps being taken in the game at the moment.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>“There are still a lot of different statuses &#8211; you&#8217;ve got full time, part time, and still clubs that are amateur &#8211; and, for me, the end goal is professionalising the whole league. I think that would enhance the competitiveness.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>“We always look forward to and relish the games against Glasgow City. Historically, they have been extremely close, probably edged by one goal. We are going into it on the front foot, on the back of some good results, and we believe in the quality within the squad, so we, as a collective unit, think we can get something out of the game.”&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Recast is committed to supporting and promoting women’s sport, and Murray’s Recast channel makes her one of the most popular athletes on the entire platform. She commented: “For Hibs, it is fantastic to have Recast as a partner of the club. The platform itself is amazing – it allows fans who can&#8217;t attend on the day to still engage and watch the game, so, for me, it is one of the best signings of our season, giving fans a window into all the hard work that goes on behind-the-scenes.”</p>

<p><strong>Ambitious direct-to-consumer sports OTT platform accelerates global expansion plans due to demand from rights holders and content creators</strong></p>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p><strong>Senior Tech and Media Executive and experienced investor Rob Zeko joins the business as Chief Commercial Officer to ramp up revenue generation and expansion into new global territories</strong></p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Recast, the ambitious Edinburgh-based sports Over-The-Top (OTT) platform that recently raised $8.2 million (£5.9 million) in its Series A round of investment, is accelerating its global expansion plans allowing rights holders and content creators to reach untapped global audiences.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>The company’s pioneering direct-to-customer video platform connects rights holders, fans and brands – for free – on one single OTT platform using per view micro-transaction. Fans can now watch the best sporting action from any device, giving complete choice, no monthly fees and the ability to supplement their viewing by earning in-app credits called “Cast Credits” for sharing and watching branded content.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Due to appetite from rights holders who want to maximise their global reach and take advantage of untapped audiences, Recast will be available in the US and Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, the Middle East and North Africa as well as the UK. With other countries following shortly.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Rights holders and content creators, of all sizes, can now access free technology that will allow them to digitally transform their organisation and keep up with the pace of today&#8217;s broadcasting landscape. Rights holders will simply be able to select what countries their content is available in, on a per video basis and will be able to set their own price whilst earning from every view.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Commenting on the news Andy Meikle, Recast’s CEO and Founder said: “I’m very excited with these major developments, particularly as we’re now solving two major issues. Firstly, without any costs associated, rights holders will now be able to go direct-to-customer and monetise audiences in markets where they don’t have existing or complimentary commercial relations. Secondly, fans in these regions will now benefit from getting flexible and affordable access to sport they otherwise may have been unable to watch and in some cases may have resorted to illegal streams.”</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>To accelerate global expansion Recast has also confirmed that Senior Tech and Media Executive and experienced investor, Rob Zeko, will be joining the company as Chief Commercial Officer with responsibility for driving overall value creation via revenue generation, corporate development and overarching business strategy. Rob’s extensive global experience and network across an array of verticals including SaaS, technology, sports, entertainment, and media will be instrumental as Recast enters new markets with a laser focus on collaborating with strategic investors and partners to propel the business into its next growth stage.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>“As we ramp up our global expansion plans due to unprecedented demand, I am delighted to welcome someone of Rob’s calibre to the Recast management team,” said Mr Meikle. “Everyone should have the opportunity to digitally transform their organisation and I’m delighted that Rob is joining us at such a crucial stage of our life cycle to offer a monetisation solution for free.”&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Rob Zeko, who will establish and strengthen relationships with key global partners and drive overall business strategy as well as support further fundraising efforts, said: “Recast’s OTT micropayment model has come to market at a time when global sports organisations are facing numerous challenges with traditional distribution &#8211; expanding the business into new markets allows our partners to have full control over their rights and directly monetise their content.”&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Rather than having to rely on traditional channels, who take the lion&#8217;s share of advertising revenue and don’t focus on giving value directly, content creators and rights holders will now have complete choice and control over their distribution model.”&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>As Recast continues to develop its OTT platform, currently in the beta stage of testing, rights holders can create a free account, within one minute and start benefiting from an incentivised sharing model using micropayments via a platform that’s free from abuse – just some of the reasons why the company has struck a chord with the industry.</p>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Hibernian Women Football Club will make history this weekend when their end of season SWPL clash with Forfar Farmington FC becomes the first ever football match to be streamed live on pioneering sports Over-The-Top (OTT) platform Recast.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Hibernian FC earlier this year became the first UK football club to join Recast, a direct-to-consumer video platform which connects fans directly to content featuring their favourite sports via a subscription-free app.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Hibernian Women normally stream live matches on Facebook – meaning the content doesn’t earn the club money despite surging interest. By streaming matches on Recast they’ll earn from the first view, with all revenue generated reinvested back into the team.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>The live and exclusive stream on Sunday, June 6 is the latest development in forward-thinking Hibernian FC’s partnership with Recast, which enables the SWPL and SPFL club to maximise earning potential while ensuring fans are served with high-quality accessible content.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>New fans can watch the match for free as they receive 100 Cast Credits just by signing up, with others able to earn more credits by watching adverts and sharing content.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Joelle Murray, Hibernian Women’s Captain, said: “It’s exciting to be making a wee bit of history. The players know what Recast can become and to think we are the first to play live on the platform certainly gives that little bit of extra motivation.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>“Interest in the women’s game in Scotland is growing all the time, and we know from the amount of people who watch our games online that Hibernian Women are at the sharp end of that. But we need investment to keep that going, and if we can earn it by playing matches, that can only be a good thing.”&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Greg McEwan, Head of Marketing &amp; Brand Partnerships, said: “The Recast partnership has made a big impact at Hibernian FC, and the feedback inside and outside the club has been massively encouraging.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>“We have a reputation as trailblazers in the game, and for our women’s team to potentially pave the way for a new way to watch live football and sport in general is a major feather in the cap for our growing club.”</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Andy Meikle, Recast’s CEO and Founder, said: “I&#8217;m delighted that Hibs have seen so much value in our partnership to date and that it will now extend to live streaming the final match of the season on their Recast channel. We&#8217;re a big advocate for unlocking value in women&#8217;s sport and there is much more to come to Recast; it&#8217;s great that Hibs are leading the way for future organisations.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>Recast, the pioneering UK based sports Over-The-Top (OTT) platform, has raised $8.2 million (£5.9m) in its Series A round of investment.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>The success of the round follows increased demand from rights holders looking for alternative ways to monetise their video content as consumption and payment patterns continue to evolve.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Among the investors is Simon Bax, former Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President at Pixar, the digital animation giant behind the Toy Story and Finding Nemo franchises which sold to Disney for US$ 7.4bn in 2006. He joins a host of High Net-Worth Individuals (HNWI) including West Indies batsman Chris Gayle, strategic investor Riva Technology and Entertainment &#8211; the gaming, tech and entertainment firm &#8211; Private Equity firm Visor International as well as other Family Offices in a round which sees Recast’s valuation grow to $29 million (£20.9m).&nbsp;</p>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>The money raised will principally be used to further develop the Recast platform, currently in BETA in the UK. Recast will also invest in expanding its geographical footprint as the appetite from rights holders indicates significant demand to reach a global audience.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Recast CEO and founder Andy Meikle said: “The caliber of this investment group reflects the response from the rights holders around the world and Recast’s major potential, particularly as we’re just getting started. We’re often congratulated on how ‘disruptive’ our model is, but in our view the industry has already been disrupted and we’re providing a revolutionary solution.”&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Recast’s OTT micropayment offering hits the market at a time where the global sports organisations are facing numerous challenges with traditional distribution. Rights holders and content creators are struggling to monetise audiences, face regular abuse on social media channels, which has resulted in a social media boycott for many, and are seeing an increasing consumption of content through pirated channels, which has only been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Recast, which allows rights holders to set up and run their own direct-to-consumer channel for free, addresses these challenges head on. An incentivised sharing model, a platform free from abuse, and the ability to monetise views through micropayments are just some of the reasons why Recast is receiving an overwhelming response from the industry.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>One of cricket’s most hotly anticipated new T20 competitions – the Dafabet African Premier League (APL) – will be shown exclusively to UK viewers through revolutionary sports broadcasting platform Recast.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>The brand-new six-team APL ­– which aims to be the premier T20 league on the African continent within four years – will be played in Nairobi from March 25 to April 10 and will feature 33 live matches, streamed directly and exclusively, to fans in the UK.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>The APL will be the first live tournament to be broadcast on the ground-breaking platform, which launched in BETA earlier this year and follows hot on the heels of other pioneering rights’ holders who are going direct-to-consumer on Recast, including Hibernian FC and the World Parkour Championship.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>The inaugural competition will prove a showcase for the best emerging talent in Kenyan cricket, with T20 specialists from other African nations, also taking part. It will also provide more cricket action for UK fans following the conclusion of the England vs India test series, and fit neatly around T20 matches between the two countries.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Teams contesting the league, which will be played at Nairobi’s Ruaraka Sports Club, are Mombasa Rhinos, Eldoret Elephants, Nairobi Lions, Kisumu Pythons, Nakuru Leopards and Thika Hippos.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>The APL is run by the NPCA (Nairobi Provincial Cricket Association) in partnership with India-based production company Dreamcatchers and organisers are delighted UK audiences will be able to tune in and enjoy the action.</p>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Puneet Gautam, Dreamcatchers Director, said: “This is a tremendous story for the Dafabet African Premier League. It is a privilege to be the first, full tournament, broadcast live by Recast.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>“The team at Dreamcatchers are excited to join Recast, which we believe is the perfect platform to give a UK audience direct, unrestricted and affordable access, to watch the inaugural APL.”&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Melissa Payne, Blonde Ambitions Founder (UK distribution partner) and Dafabet African Premier League Board Member added: “This was an easy decision for us to broadcast the APL via Recast, considering Recast allows us to go direct-to-consumer without any costs associated with building our own OTT platform, whilst effectively monetising viewership through microtransactions.”</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>“This is a partnership that extends far beyond the inaugural event. We are very much looking forward to working together to grow the League and build a fanbase both here in Africa and across other markets.”</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Andy Meikle, Founder and CEO at Recast, said: “The APL is an exciting competition with both ambitious plans and significant potential, we’re therefore delighted to bring it exclusively to a cricket loving, UK wide audience.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>“I’m particularly excited as the APL will be one of the first major events streamed live on Recast. It will be easy to access, with no up-front or ongoing subscription costs to fans. Instead they are able to pay for what they want to watch, when they want to watch it, as well as having the opportunity to earn our in-app credits, which subsidises or removes viewing costs.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>“We’re seeing significant changes across the industry of sport and the reality is that the vast majority of rights’ holders don’t have lucrative broadcast deals in every territory worldwide. This is a perfect example of how Recast provides rights’ holders with a means of taking their content directly to the consumer without any costs to them, whilst maximising reach and revenue generation for the sport.”</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Viewers that watch the APL matches on Recast will also have the chance to win a slice of sporting history. Every viewer will be entered into a draw to win digital moments from the series including the first ball, first boundary and first wicket, and will be authenticated with a Non Fungible Token (NFT).</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Instead of buying rights itself, Recast connects rights’ holders directly to fans, allowing an exchange of value through in-app credits called ‘Casts’. There are no upfront costs to rights’ holders, athletes, or fans, to join Recast, allowing rights holders to maintain ownership of rights and flexibility over content use, unlike other traditional broadcasting deals.</p>

</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Supporters of Hibernian Football Club can now inject cash straight into the club simply by watching exclusive goal clips, highlights and interviews featuring their favourite team thanks to a pioneering partnership with ground-breaking sports video platform Recast.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>The SPFL club is the first in Scotland to join Recast, a video platform which connects fans directly to content featuring their favourite sports via a subscription-free app.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Complementing Hibernian FC’s existing arrangements, Recast offers the club ​an additional platform for its fans to get affordable, flexible access to high-quality content directly from the club, which Recast’s unique micropayment system will turn into revenue simply through fans’ viewership.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Fans will be able to earn in-app credits by simply signing up, watching adverts, sharing content and inviting friends which will allow fans to watch their favourite content for free.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>With all revenue generated being reinvested back into the club, the move is one of many ways the Easter Road Club is seeking to maximise its earning potential, without further financially impacting fans. It is set to pave the way for clubs across Scotland and beyond to follow suit and more effectively monetise their exclusive content.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Recast Founder and CEO Andy Meikle said: “We are thrilled to welcome Hibernian FC to Recast and work closely with them in this landmark partnership, which will deliver greater value to both the fans and the club.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>It’s no secret that how fans watch sport is changing and a model that works for both fans and rights’ holders is needed to reflect this. Hibernian are leading the charge on addressing these changes, by going direct-to-consumer with a range of unique and exclusive content on Recast where fans get rewarded for their attention and the club can maximise revenue potential.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>We are working in partnership with world-class clubs, sporting bodies and rights holders around the globe who are addressing shifting consumption and payment patterns, and with Hibernian being one of the biggest clubs in Scottish football, we are delighted to welcome them to our roster of rights’ holder partners.” Greg McEwan, Head of Marketing &amp; Brand Partnerships at Hibernian FC said: “We are delighted to be the first Scottish football club to partner with Recast. This will allow fans to get direct, affordable and flexible access to content like never before, which will complement existing channels, including Hibs TV. This pioneering new concept will not only allow us to ensure we are exploring new revenue streams but as Recast is a platform that gives value back to the fans, we believe this opens the doors to a new way of thinking for sports fans and clubs alike. We’re very much looking forward to seeing our relationship with Recast grow and evolve over the coming months and years.” Brand new and continuously refreshed content featuring Hibernian FC will be available immediately to UK users on Recast, with plans in place to eventually extend outside the UK. The Recast content will compliment Hibernian FC’s existing Over-The-Top (OTT) platform, Hibs TV, and its social channels. Recast enters the market at a time where there is a recognised need for change to the current sports viewing model after years of fans increasingly turning to online feeds and illegal streams, or watching short clips and highlights rather than the full event, all of which has been accelerated due to Covid-19. Fans are looking for affordable access to sport and rights’ holders are looking to explore new ways to maintain a sustainable commercial ecosystem. Recast rewards fans for their engagement on the platform, which in turn generates value for the content publisher, meaning fans can now watch content knowing the value generated is going directly to the club they support.</p>

<p>Recast connects rights’ holders directly to fans, allowing an exchange of value through in-app credits called ‘Casts’.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>The direct-to-customer platform operates as a three-sided marketplace that brings fans, advertising brands and rights’ holders together in one place. Recast’s unique proposition means the business does not purchase any sports rights, following the success of other exchange models such as Airbnb and Uber in not owning supply but generating value through connection.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Recast is already working with several high-profile rights’ holders and bodies using its ground-breaking technology to help maximise their earning potential from highlights, in-play clips and live events ahead of its full UK launch this year.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p><strong>WPC partners with Recast as part of forward-thinking plan to grow audience and revenue for Parkour</strong></p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p><strong>Recast will work with management firm and athletes to build profile of Parkour</strong></p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>The way people watch one of the world’s most action-packed sports is set to change forever thanks to a game-changing partnership between the World Parkour Championships (WPC) and ground-breaking sports video platform Recast.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>The WPC is Parkour’s showpiece series, with events attracting millions of viewers around the world who to date could only catch up with action on YouTube and other video sharing sites.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>The partnership with UK-based Recast ­- a video platform which allows rights’ holders to go direct-to-consumer and connects fans to their content via a subscription-free app &#8211; will give fans of the action-packed sport an innovative new platform where they can watch exclusive clips, highlights and interviews all in one place.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Significantly, the partnership will give Race Marketing &amp; Management (RMM) ­– the progressive organisation which manages WPC content – more control over how its broadcast rights are monetised, with funds generated through the unique Recast micropayments earning model invested back into the sport, its athletes and other WPC events.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>RMM will also work closely with Recast and Parkour athletes to maximise the exposure of the sport world-wide, particularly as Recast will begin its international expansion later this year. Some of the sport’s biggest names including Nick Provost (over 6 million social media followers), Pasha Petkuns (1.4m) and Dom Di Tomasso (1.3m) are also expected to set up their own channels through the Recast platform.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Selim Kemahli, Race Marketing &amp; Management (RMM) Managing Director, said: “This partnership is a major step for the WPC and Parkour as we work to broaden its appeal and allow bigger audiences to enjoy this fantastic sport. “It makes me and the team at RMM extremely proud to give WPC coverage a home and a platform to share its content through a genuinely innovative, user friendly and commercially advantageous platform that will benefit the sport, its athletes and its fans.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>“We cannot wait to work closely with the team at Recast to grow Parkour and the WPC, and take it to an even bigger global audience.”</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Andy Meikle, founder and CEO of Recast, said: “With millions of fans following Parkour and the WPC around the world, this is undoubtedly an exciting partnership.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>“Giving sports such as Parkour the airtime they deserve and a solution which works for the fan, the athlete and the sport by monetising content effectively, is precisely why we created Recast. “RMM is a forward-thinking rights holder with a vision for the future of the WPC and Parkour and we are delighted to be working in partnership to help them realise it.”</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>WPC content will be available on Recast immediately, including short clips and weekly videos, increasing to full live streams and shorts once the WPC tour resumes following the easing of lockdown restrictions. Long-form highlights packages also feature, as well as short, snackable clips of events.</p>

World Parkour Championship (WPC) Goes Direct-To-Consumer On Ground-Breaking Sports Video Platform Recast

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p><strong>The revolutionary new model benefits sports rights holders and content creators enabling them to boost revenue via microtransactions, direct from fans</strong></p>

<p><strong>Video platform founded by leading figures from technology and sport will launch this year</strong></p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>A new video platform has been unveiled in a bid to transform the sports broadcasting landscape &#8211; and it’s already attracting interest from rights’ holders from around the world.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Recast’s unique micropayment solution will allow fans to turn their attention directly into revenue for the sports they are passionate about on a non-subscription basis.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>This provides a solution to sports which struggle to monetise their content effectively. It also offers sports a place to generate revenue from their content without any of the costs associated with building their own Over-The-Top (OTT) platform.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Despite still being in beta, this shift has seen rights holders – particularly across sports such as cycling, parkour, obstacle course racing, rugby and many more – gravitate to Recast to enable them to monetise the future fan.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Recast CEO and Founder, Andy Meikle, said: “There’s a clear shift in sports’ fans’ consumption and payment patterns, which has only been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Fans want more affordable access to their favourite sports, so they’re moving away from traditional broadcasters towards social media, illegal streams or unofficial feeds.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>“Continuing to persist with what is clearly a broken model will inevitably kill many professional sports. In an attempt to maximise revenue and reach we’ve seen rights holders move from linear to social and then more recently to owned OTT. The latter has its own limitations as only diehard fans are prepared to go beyond the paywall.</p>
</div>

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>“Aggregation and micropayments are inevitable but a viable model has never existed to support this &#8211; until now.”</p>

<p>Recast’s leadership team comprises some of the most highly regarded names in tech and sport.

Ground-breaking new video platform set to revolutionise sports broadcasting

<div class="wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-paragraph">
<p>Let’s start off by saying Happy New Year. What a whirlwind 2020 was!<br>As we now sit at our desks (albeit for many in a home office) ready for the year ahead, we can reflect on the change that 2020 brought. Instead of thinking that 2020 was all doom and gloom, we can look back on it and see what a game-changing year it was for many.<br>2020 brought innovative ways of thinking. Fans had to look for alternative ways to watch sport from the comfort of their own homes, athletes had to adapt their training schedules to fit around their ‘new normal’ and companies quickly thrived in a new digital world of video calls. Organisations also had to look at alternative ways to generate revenue in order to thrive.<br>A new year brings with it a whole host of new opportunities. This is especially relevant for clubs, teams and leagues alike, as they now have the opportunity to reflect and review what’s important to them. The question, for many, will now be, did they get it right in 2020 and are they prepared for the new digital era we find ourselves in?<br>Let’s cast our minds back to the first-time people sat down to watch their favourite sport when sport finally returned to our TV’s, mobiles, and desktops. Where did they go to watch it? Traditional broadcasters? Social Media? Newly created Over-The-Top (OTT) platforms or illegal streams and unofficial feeds?<br>The latter is probably the most common option and how did organisations capitalise on this change? Well… most didn’t.<br>Sports’ fans’ consumption and payment patterns have changed and it’s now more important than ever to innovate and adapt. Monetisation is essential. Aggregation of sports content is the only viable way to ensure audience at scale. Are organisations prepared for this change? Ask yourself, how will my organisation do that?<br>The answer is Recast.<br>Thankfully, here at Recast, we’re ahead of the game on this one! We can bring a revolutionary new way of thinking to your organisation as well as a solution that connects rights holders, fans and brands on one single platform. Our direct-to-customer video platform combines the ability to watch the best sporting action from any mobile device and the potential to earn in-app currency &#8211; for both viewers and rights holders &#8211; through microtransactions.<br>Rights Holders can monetise all their content, from 10-second clips to full live games, without the upfront costs of their own OTT platform. Fans can earn or purchase credits and make micropayments directly to rights holders to watch the sports they want. Rights Holders can also cash out these credits, meaning they have the opportunity to generate more revenue than any other model.<br>Recast is already working with several forward-thinking high-profile rights holders and bodies using our ground-breaking technology to help maximise their earning potential from highlights, in-play clips and live events.<br>We think it’s fair to say there’s light at the end of the tunnel and 2021 is shaping up to be an incredible year for sport.<br>We’ll see the return of spectacular events such as the Olympics &amp; Paralympics, Euro 2021, The Ryder Cup &amp; Solheim Cup and other major events such as the Six Nations, the British &amp; Irish Lions Tour and The Ashes. And we’ll finally look to welcome spectators back to stadiums after a long hiatus.
