LG Electronics and the fantasy sports media company Fantasy Life, which was founded by Matthew Berry, have renewed and expanded their content partnership. The collaboration centers on a dedicated channel within LG's free, ad-supported streaming service, which is available on the company's smart televisions.
The expanded agreement between LG Electronics and Fantasy Life involves a substantial increase in the volume of original programming focused on fantasy football, with new shows being introduced and the channel transitioning to a year-round broadcast schedule. A key addition is the availability of on-demand viewing for this content, which, in turn, provides greater flexibility for users. The programming features analysis and commentary from a roster of fantasy sports experts and is designed to offer strategic advice for participants in fantasy sports leagues.
