FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NE10 NOW Continues to Provide Free Live Streaming for Fans.
MANSFIELD, Mass. – The Northeast-10 Conference announced on Monday that it has reached a three-year partnership agreement with Hudl, formerly BlueFrame Technology. Hudl will become the official home of NE10 NOW – the league's digital streaming platform – beginning in the 2022-23 academic year.
As it prepares for its fifth year of existence, NE10 NOW will continue providing fans with free live streaming for all of its team sports and championship events. Under its new partnership with Hudl, the Conference's network will be available on the web, as well as streaming applications for television and mobile devices for Android TV, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, Roku (TV), iOS, Android (mobile) and Amazon Fire Tablet.
"We are excited to announce our partnership with Hudl, the new home of NE10 NOW," said NE10 Commissioner Julie Ruppert. "Over the past four years, NE10 institutions have remained committed to providing all of our viewers with a top-notch broadcast experience at no charge. We will continue offering this service to our fans through Hudl, a company that will help us take our digital streaming platform to the next level. Thank you to our NE10 NOW Committee for its work in making this a smooth transition for our league members."
Since NE10 NOW was launched in the 2018-19 academic year, NE10 institutions have utilized BlueFrame's Production Truck software, giving fans of the conference a way to tune in to their favorite teams through a professional-level broadcast. Beginning this year, NE10 NOW will fully transition over to Hudl to continue adding value to the viewer experience.
"The NE10 continues to help level the playing field with their commitment to high quality, equitable access for viewing all of their sports," says Ben Kant, Hudl's head of streaming. "Partnering with the NE10 gives them the ability to offer their content to meet their fans wherever they are."
This partnership, which runs through 2025, will continue to help elevate the value that NE10 brings to all schools in their conference, giving more visibility to teams and athletes and more access to fans.
