Philadelphia Flyers Launch New Video App With DeskSite

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Philadelphia Flyers have officially launched the Flyers DeskSite, a new, interactive video app that proactively delivers premium, high-definition video content to fans – for free.

The Flyers DeskSite is a personalized HD video content library constructed to support fans' growing consumption of online video. Exclusively modeled for the "Big Screen" and essentially a DVR for the Internet, the DeskSite serves as a digital fan hub for HD video, web content, and social conversation around the team.

DeskSite enables instantaneous video playback, freeing fans from the buffering, freezing and dropping associated with streaming video on a website. Videos are automatically downloaded and stored directly to users' devices, allowing fans the ability to view content offline, without an Internet connection. The platform also includes audiovisual alerts, reducing the delay between a video's initial release and fan access. Video programming consists of game highlights, postgame recaps, player and coach interviews, and more.

"The Flyers DeskSite offers fans everything they want, and equally important, nothing they don't," said Richard Gillam, CEO of DeskSite. "With this new platform, we've made some exciting leaps forward in the evolution of digital media, most notably in the twin pillars of content curation and content access. If you're a serious Flyers fan, this is a 'must have' experience."

In order to provide this immersive fan experience, the Flyers partnered with DeskSite, a digital media company based in Irvine, Calif.

Fans can download the Flyers DeskSite at flyersdesksite.com.
