WSC Sports' proprietary AI technology platform automates the creation of highlights for over 150 leagues and broadcast partners across the globe, including NHL, NBA, ESPN, YouTubeTV, FIBA, Eleven Sports, Nascar, and Bleacher Report.
"We are proud to bring our AI technology to football in Puerto Rico, to help grow excitement for the sport amongst fans on the island and build the Liga Puerto Rico brand worldwide. We know that short sharable highlights can increase fan engagement on social media and are excited to help make the process automatic and efficient for the Liga Puerto Rico content team," said Jessica Anguiano, head of business development at WSC Sports.
Liga Puerto Rico is the latest sports league in Latin America to sign on with WSC Sports. WSC Sports also works with the Baloncesto Superior Nacional (BSN) basketball league in Puerto Rico and Brazil's national basketball league, NBB.
