Watch Scotland Games From The European Championships On Recast
Dear Member,
The World Curling Federation has chosen to use the Recast platform as a way to monetise its video content from its international competitions.
This is a break from the previous practice of using YouTube which attracted some 4 million viewers last season.
The benefit of using Recast is that it allows the World Curling Federation to recover some of the investment they make in hosting their international events while giving users the ability to access high quality curling content for free by watching adverts or they can pay to view uninterrupted coverage. The quality of the production remains high with the World Curling Federation employing expert technicians and broadcast team along with quality commentators for all of their events. Should the Recasts platform be a success for the World Curling Federation, their intention is to expand the broadcast coverage, rather than featuring one or two games per session they may be able to cover all games per session in future. This clearly has an advantage for Scotland fans where our teams have historically only been shown on the live stream YouTube channel a few times per event. So by supporting the Recast platform we hope to get an increase in the coverage of Scotland’s games at European and World Championships in future.
Scottish Curling has little choice in how to proceed, so has embraced the curling channel on Recast, set up by the World Curling Federation. This means that we will gain revenue from the views we promote on the recast platform.
We hope you enjoy watching the Scottish Teams games on Recast and the next up will be our women’s team against Switzerland on Wednesday at 1pm (UK time).
