Sprylogics Signs Partnership With iHeartMedia To Promote Its "Breaking Sports" App Through FOX Sports Radio Network

LOS ANGELES and TORONTO, Nov. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - Sprylogics International Corp. ("Sprylogics" or the "Company") (TSXV: SPY), a technology provider of local mobile search, semantic search and messaging solutions for consumers and businesses, announced today a partnership with iHeartMedia, the leading media company in America with a greater reach in the U.S. than any other radio or television outlet, to launch Sprylogic's ground-breaking new app, Breaking Sports, through iHeartMedia's FOX Sports Radio Network. 

As part of the agreement, Breaking Sports will be integrated within FOX Sports Radio's leading lineup of 24/7 programming, which reaches nearly five million weekly listeners on more than 400 radio stations nationwide.  Throughout the day "Trending Now" sports updates presented by Breaking Sports will be delivered during popular programs including The Dan Patrick Show, The Rich Eisen Show, Jay Mohr Sports, Steve Gorman Sports! and J.T. The Brick, keeping sports listeners up to date on the latest news and information.

Breaking Sports tracks social media in real-time for significant sports information and events and distributes summarized information through real-time push notifications to consumers. By utilizing advanced artificial intelligence techniques, Breaking Sports can detect events as they happen and as they are announced in social media, determine nature of the events, attribute events to participants, summarize source articles, index the underlying information, provide search of events and articles and send alerts to fantasy players, sport fans and enthusiasts.

Compared to other similar products, Breaking Sports has the differentiated advantage of not requiring human intervention when detecting and generating alerts, thereby enabling faster delivery of relevant information. Through a simple-to-use interface Breaking Sports users specify what teams and players they are interested in as well as what type of events they care about such as injuries, roster moves, line-up changes, statistics, rumours and more.

In addition to tracking social media, Breaking Sports analyzes statistical and play-by-play information to auto-generate news, updating users on important facts that might not be covered through traditional sports or social media. Users are able to review news in a familiar feed/stream interface and search results, both of which are ideally suited for monetization through native advertising.

"We are very pleased to roll out our Breaking Sports app and showcase our semantic search capabilities to millions of sports fans through iHeartMedia's FOX Sports Radio properties," said Marvin Igelman, CEO of Sprylogics.  "Breaking Sports will power the "Trending Now" segments, helping deliver relevant and timely sports news to listeners," added Igelman. 

"We are excited to partner with Sprylogics to help connect sports fans with this innovative app," said Darren Davis, President of iHeartRadio and iHeartMedia Networks. "In the ever-changing sports world, fans can't get enough information about their favourite players and teams, and we believe this app will provide FOX Sports Radio's loyal audience with additional access to the content they're passionate about."
