All Those "Other" Sports

Traditional broadcast networks (ESPN, CBS, ABC, Fox, and NBC) provide coverage of only select professional and collegiate sporting events. Even within professional and collegiate sports only the top games and teams are broadcast. However, less than 10% if the 200,000 annual collegiate sporting events are covered, less than 1% of the 3,000,000 high school events are covered, and amateur and recreational sports are relatively uncovered. In the future, hopefully all of those “other” sports are broadcast online. Just a few mo... read more...

We live in a world where everyone is increasingly on the road or moving to a new city or town. What happens to your lifetime of loyalties to your favorite pro teams or how do you follow your college and high school teams? Sports coverage today is local – living in Boston, it is all about the Red Sox, Pats, Celtics, Bruins, BC and many other college teams, and local high schools. So when you move, do you just change allegiances or do you find a way to still stay connected with your local teams? Sure Steelers fans can find a bar to... read more...

There are times when it seems relaxing to kick back and just watch your favorite team on television or zone out and listen to the babble on a local sports talk radio station. However, most of the time it would be more interesting to have a higher level of engagement about the sporting event or show you are watching or listening to. Television is purely passive – announcers with varying levels of qualification trying to appeal to a broad demographic. I think we all have announcers we find really annoying. Radio is not quite as passi... read more...

Making it Simple to Broadcast Sporting Events

Historically, to broadcast sporting events required a great deal of expensive equipment including mixers, transmitters, miles of cable, and maybe even a few trucks, and technical expertise to figure out how to get the broadcast over the airwaves. High speed Internet, digital camcorders, USB mics and laptops with excellent media capabilities have significantly reduced the barriers to broadcast live sporting events. YouCastr has capitalized on these technology trends and created a broadcasting platform to connect the broadcasters with the v... read more...

As one of the founders of YouCastr, I often get the question of why we decided to create YouCastr. We were dissatisfied with how traditional media companies require us to experience sports – a passive one-way experience, broadcasters who try to appeal to a broad demographic rather than desires of specific users, and covering only select events. Rather than just complaining, we applied our entrepreneurial spirit to create YouCastr – our initial vision of The Future of Sports Entertainment. At one level, YouCastr represents th... read more...

Welcome to YouCastr (YC) Red Sox Nation. In this blog I will be providing my thoughts on the everything Red Sox – players, games, competitors, and my thoughts on whatever is in the news. After winning their 2nd World Series title in 4 years in 2007, I am looking forward to the 2008 version of the Red Sox. Unlike 2005 where there was a great deal of turnover of veteran (older) players on the team, there was little turnover on the Red Sox roster during this off season. The exciting young talent previewed during call-ups and the post... read more...

Hey Brad, It's Matt (buffbillsfan) on the site. I have (with some help) successfully created a show for the community. It is called Youcastr ATH (around the horn). The first episode features buffbillsfan (me), PhilDog210, Jetsfan196, and Matt Rosenthal as the debaters and Mastershake as the host. I don't want to reveal the other top youcastr members we are trying to get on board or our other plans on this board where everyone can see but I was just wondering if there was a way we could get a little ad on the site for the show. Tomorrow we will be airing at 8-9 PM Eastern but it usually will be a Saturday show. A time slot will be decieded on monday or tuesday for everyweek. Not sure if this is at all possible but I thought it doesnt hurt to ask. Thanks for reading this. (PS What is going on with the Sabres!!!)
