Case Study: NESN achieves seamless multi-platform sports delivery with Astound Broadband

NESN unifies sports delivery across 100+ affiliates with Astound Broadband

NESN, the New England Sports Network, faced the challenge of delivering Boston Red Sox and Bruins games seamlessly across multiple platforms, including traditional cable, their NESN 360 streaming app, and over 100 affiliate networks. They needed to consolidate their previously separate distribution workflows to ensure consistent quality and reliability for millions of fans. To address this, they partnered with Astound Business Solutions for its dedicated fiber infrastructure and media services.

Astound implemented a unified, intelligent platform that consolidated NESN's cable, streaming, and affiliate distribution onto a single system. This solution provided automatic scaling to handle viewership surges without intervention. The results for NESN included achieving multi-platform excellence with consistent quality across all delivery methods and the seamless servicing of their entire network of over 100 affiliates.
