Press Release | Jersey City, NJ, September 20, 2016
In today’s fast evolving landscape of how live sports content is broadcast and consumed, StriveCast.TV gets a whopping YES from ESPN Founder, Bill Rasmussen. A broadcasting industry pioneer with an unending enthusiasm for everything sports, Bill has joined StriveCast.TV as a member of the Advisory Board, to help guide its growth in amateur and semi-professional sports markets globally.
StriveCast.TV is a cloud-based video production and live streaming platform that enables high quality broadcasting of events in an easy Do-It-Yourself model. With a full-featured production workflow, StriveCast.TV ensures that every event gets high quality video coverage, until now seen only in mass media television broadcasts.
“Earlier this year, when Rajiv Sohal, CEO of Seastar Labs, showed me a demo of his new technology, I saw an immediate application for my grandson’s basketball team. This system will benefit millions of parents, grandparents, alumni and fans of both high school and other sports teams around the globe. Having worked with Rajiv before, I knew this product would be top notch, and I readily agreed to come on board as an advisor.”

Bill’s enthusiasm for sports and broadcasting is shared by Dr. Manoj Aggarwal, the co-founder and CTO of Seastar Labs, the company behind StriveCast.TV. Manoj’s keen desire to make quality sports coverage affordable in largely untapped local and hyperlocal markets has been a key driving factor behind this initiative.
“StriveCast.TV offers 95% of the quality of a professional broadcast at 10% of the cost.”
