Z-Games 2016, an Eastern Europe sports and music festival, will become the first headliner of the new project. It will take place in early August near the Black Sea.<\/p>\n<p>Professional online translations of Z-Games will be broadcast exclusively for 40 million of Megogo\u2019s viewers in Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, the Baltic States and other Eastern European countries in a unique format created by a team from Megogo and Z-Games.<\/p>\n<p>The streaming will be available free of charge every day of the festival on the website and apps for all devices and platforms worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChoosing the project, we looked at dozens of events and picked the most entertaining and interesting,\u201d said Ivan Shestakov, the marketing director at Megogo. \u201cIt was not only first-class music and sports component, but also the atmosphere of the festival, extremely popular among progressive audience, that influenced our choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shestakov added: \u201cWe [have]\u00a0in mind the format and engaging spirit of the Olympics airings, international championships and festival broadcasts. The program is also full of diaries and summaries, interviews, discussions and competitions analytics, highlights and fan moments, concerts backstage and even the after-parties with musical groups\u2014all that is not usually seen by the regular visitors. However, the most important component is the insider\u2019s view of the events provided by ubiquitous streamers. This event is targeted to\u00a0progressive young people who grew up on YouTube and social media. This is a huge audience; with everyone having a smartphone with a camera in his pocket. In this project, we will give the audience more than TV is able to give\u2014we have no airtime limits and [are] vigorously engaging the audience to create content themselves alongside with our professional team.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KIEV: The VOD and OTT service Megogo has launched a new business line that will focus on the live broadcast of large-scale popular sporting and cultural events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":291,"featured_media":6872,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[686],"class_list":["post-6871","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-megogo"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Megogo Debuts Live Stream of Music Fests &amp; Sporting Events - TVEUROPE<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2016\/07\/07\/megogo-launches-live-stream-of-music-festivals-sporting-events\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Megogo Debuts Live Stream of Music Fests &amp; Sporting Events - TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"KIEV: The VOD and OTT service Megogo has launched a new business line that will focus on the live broadcast of large-scale popular sporting and cultural events.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2016\/07\/07\/megogo-launches-live-stream-of-music-festivals-sporting-events\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-07-07T16:33:42+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2016-07-07T19:34:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2015\/09\/MEGOGO-LIVE_1.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Joel Marino\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Joel Marino\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2016\/07\/07\/megogo-launches-live-stream-of-music-festivals-sporting-events\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2016\/07\/07\/megogo-launches-live-stream-of-music-festivals-sporting-events\/\",\"name\":\"Megogo Debuts Live Stream of Music Fests &amp; Sporting Events - TVEUROPE\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2016-07-07T16:33:42+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-07-07T19:34:33+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/b3ccbe08162f6677585ed46386169b48\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2016\/07\/07\/megogo-launches-live-stream-of-music-festivals-sporting-events\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2016\/07\/07\/megogo-launches-live-stream-of-music-festivals-sporting-events\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2016\/07\/07\/megogo-launches-live-stream-of-music-festivals-sporting-events\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Megogo Debuts Live Stream of Music Fests &amp; Sporting Events\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\",\"name\":\"TVEUROPE\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/b3ccbe08162f6677585ed46386169b48\",\"name\":\"Joel Marino\",\"description\":\"Joel Marino is associate editor for World Screen and TV Latina.
