Los Angeles, Calif. – May 12, 2021 – Aggregated Media, an esports and video games media company announced today the launch of its esports and video games digital channel available via OTT and linear partners in 13 countries around the world.

Preediction Network – The esports and gaming infotainment network.
-
Super League Gaming – A global leader in competitive video gaming and esports entertainment for everyday players.

At launch A8 Esports will feature live and classic tournaments, esports talk from community experts and a wide variety of video games enthusiast content for every type of fan.
“The growth of Super League’s content business is fueled by two energizing sources – the talented, passionate producers on our team and the players and creators within our community,” said Matt Edelman, Chief Commercial Officer, Super League Gaming. “We’re grateful to be working with such a diverse collection of partners who believe that our video programming can contribute to the success of their OTT channels.”
“Preediction, the largest esports + gaming infotainment network, chose Aggregated Media as a natural partner fit.
