YouCastr is revolutionizing the way fans experience their favorite sports by building on new and emerging technologies to create a real-time, interactive, global sports network.

YouCastr is creating an interactive sports network where fans interact with each other before, during and after a game, making the experience of following their favorite sports more fun and social. YouCastr makes it possible for fans to share the experience of enjoying the game by enabling fans to broadcast their own live audio commentary, chat with other fans in real time, and participate in live polling. Everybody loves being at the game or watching it with friends at home or at a bar, but a lot of times, those aren’t viable options. YouCastr wants to bridge the gap between being there and watching alone on TV.

With YouCastr, anyone can become a sports broadcaster. Users can easily broadcast live commentary on sporting events and create shows about their favorite local, high-school, college and pro teams. Unlike traditional radio and Internet streaming, YouCastr allows broadcasters and listeners to interact live. Whether doing play-by-play for the local high-school basketball team, providing additional commentary for college or pro games, or discussing the most recent sports headlines, YouCastr has created a unique, globally scalable platform.
