Fanseat
On-demand sports streaming service
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fanseat is an Internet streaming service specializing in live sports broadcasts, established in 2015. Early on, it served as an online extension of Fanseat 1 and 2 (later Fanseat 1 to 4), basic tier television channels available to customers of Finnish telecommunications provider Elisa.[2] In 2017, the Fanseat channels were renamed and merged into a new 8-channel premium tier called Elisa Viihde Sport. The online version of Fanseat remained its own brand, and was refocused on foreign markets.[3]
In 2019, the platform was acquired by Spring Media, a Swedish sports marketing agency.[1]
Fanseat's managing director is Jean-Maël Gineste, a former sales director at Eurosport.[1]
