Spectrum offering new deal on football content for sports bars

On August 1 Spectrum cable, based in Stamford, announced an agreement with EverPass Media that will make it possible for business customers across 41 states, including Connecticut, to stream some of the most in-demand on-demand football and other sports content in the country.

The move is expected to be attractive to the owners of sports bars and hotels throughout Connecticut. Previously, many of these options were only available to businesses through DirecTV.

Additionally, Spectrum announced that business customers will once again be able to access Thursday Night Football and the launch of a new subscription tier for premium football entertainment “Spectrum Business Sports Fan TV.” The service is available at an introductory rate for $79.99 per month standalone, or $59.99 per month bundled with other services.

“We know how important it is for small business customers to have access to a broad portfolio of sports content so their patrons can watch all their favorite live events,” said Tom Montemagno, Executive Vice President, Programming Acquisition for Charter Communications, Inc., which operates the Spectrum brand of connectivity services. “The combination of NFL Sunday Ticket and Peacock Sports Pass via EverPass and our new Sports Fan TV tier means we can offer businesses a sports solution that includes almost all NFL games, college football, and professional basketball, hockey, baseball, soccer and more.”

“We are thrilled to partner with Spectrum Business as our first official channel partner,” said Alex Kaplan, EverPass Chief Executive Officer. “EverPass was founded with the goal of innovating the out-of-home sports and entertainment viewing experience while also empowering business owners to have complete control of the content their customers desire. This strategic relationship allows us to tap into Spectrum Business’ extensive network and expand access to NFL Sunday Ticket and Peacock Sports Pass for commercial establishments, further positioning EverPass as the preeminent live sports and entertainment content platform for businesses across the U.S.”
