Flash player for ESPN Euro portal
Release date: 15th October 2008
Pushbutton has designed and built a fully transactional broadband video player for the leading American sports media brand, ESPN. The company partnered with Entriq on this project.
The European portal enables ESPN viewers to browse and select the latest NFL football games, baseball, ice hockey, basketball and many other exclusive matches available from the number one name in American sports television.
Pushbutton’s role was to design and develop the front end of the portal, and handle all of the integration with ESPN’s technology provider, Entriq. The player also integrates closely with the DoubleClick ad serving and reporting technology.
Pushbutton Managing Director, Paula Byrne, said “The ESPN portal is a tremendous showcase for Pushbutton’s growing broadband and IPTV output. We are well known for our interactive television design and build work on the satellite platform, now customers can see the benefits of using a design firm with a TV heritage, as opposed to Web shop background, for broadband projects based on TV and video properties.”
