Kayo version 2: The vision beyond streaming
Beyond the immediate excitement of Gather Round, Kayo is already looking towards its next evolution in partnership with DAZN, after the company’s recent acquisition of Foxtel in a landmark deal with News Corp.
“We’re really going through our next evolution,” he said. “We’ve been in the labs designing Kayo version two, and with DAZN, there’s a lot of stuff coming that will broaden the product far beyond streaming.”
Though Ogrin kept details close to his chest, he hinted at a larger play that goes beyond sport as content.
“It’s going to be about a whole way of life, whether it’s televised sport or your kids going to Saturday soccer,” he said. “The vision is to create an ecosystem where Kayo becomes the true home of sport, not just for streaming, but for everything around it.”
