Pittsburgh Penguins Launch New Video App With DeskSite

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pittsburgh Penguins are the most recent NHL team to partner with DeskSite, officially launching the Penguins DeskSite, a new, interactive video app that proactively delivers premium, high-definition video content on-demand to fans – for free.

Fans can download the Penguins DeskSite at www.PenguinsDeskSite.com.  

The Penguins DeskSite is a personalized HD video content library constructed to support fans' growing consumption of online video. Exclusively modeled for the "Big Screen" and essentially a DVR for the Internet, the DeskSite serves as a digital fan hub for HD video, web content, and social conversation around the Penguins.

"We're thrilled to work with DeskSite to bring Penguins fans exciting video content," said Terry Kalna, Senior Vice President, Sales & Broadcasting of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

DeskSite enables instantaneous video playback, freeing fans from the buffering, freezing and dropping associated with straming video on a website. Videos are automatically downloaded and stored directly to users' devices, allowing fans the ability to view content offline, without an Internet connection. The platform also includes audiovisual alerts, reducing the delay between a video's initial release and fan access. Video programming consists of interviews with players and coaches, postgame recaps, breaking news, in-depth scouting combine and draft coverage, ice girl spotlights, and more.

"The Penguins DeskSite offers fans everything they want, and equally important, nothing they don't," said Richard Gillam, CEO of DeskSite. "With this new platform, we've made some exciting leaps forward in the evolution of digital media, most notably in the twin pillars of content curation and content access. If you're a serious Penguins fan, this is a 'must have' experience."

In order to provide this immersive fan experience, the Penguins partnered with DeskSite, a digital media company based in Irvine, Calif.
