Hoopsfix All Star Classic to be Live Streamed on YouTube by WilkieTV

By Sam Neter on June 11, 2014

The Hoopsfix All Star Classic will be live streamed in its entirety to the official Hoopsfix YouTube channel by partners WilkieTV on Sunday 15th June 2014.

The Hoopsfix All Star Classic, a one day fundraiser showcase featuring an U16 and U26 all star game, sold out in a little over two weeks of tickets going on sale, and the live stream will cater to all those who are unable to be at Brunel in person on Sunday, ensuring they do not miss any of the action.

WilkieTV, based in Surrey, are an inventive video production company who specialise in ultra-portable live streaming and punchy videos with fast turnarounds.

The stream will be covered by two cameras and will also include graphics with a scoreboard and commentary.

The Under-16 game and dunk contest will be commentated on by Stuart Tanner and Micky Bett, with the Under-26s being covered by Mark Clark and Micky Bett.

“I’m delighted that my company can help Hoopsfix go live,” said Claire Wilkie, the Director of WilkieTV.

“At WilkieTV we seek to make live video accessible to everyone, enabling brands/sports to reach maximum exposure. Bring on Sunday!”

“I’m so excited to be able to have the game streamed professionally to the internet,” said Sam Neter, Hoopsfix owner. “In this day and age, with the growth of online and social, every marquee event should have an online presence and a live stream was a no brainer.

“I have to say thank you to Wilkie TV for their support in making this happen, and I have no doubt it will allow the Hoopsfix All Star Classic to reach a worldwide audience!”

Proud supporters of the Hoopsfix All Star Classic, aside from Wilkie TV, include ESPN Player, 2tall.com, Molten, Amaechi Performance Systems, Reach & Teach, Sportserve, 5or6, Always Ballin’, Let Me Play and Nando’s.

Get subscribed to the official Hoopsfix YouTube channel to be notified when the stream goes live. It is anticipated to start at approximately 12:55pm on Sunday 15th June with the Under-16 game, then the dunk contest at 14:55 and the U26 game at 15:55.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
