LOS ANGELES and TORONTO, Nov. 26,
2014 /PRNewswire/ - Sprylogics International Corp.
("Sprylogics" or the "Company") (TSXV: SPY), a technology
provider of local mobile search, semantic search and messaging
solutions for consumers and businesses, announced today a
partnership with iHeartMedia, the leading media company in America
with a greater reach in the U.S. than any other radio or television
outlet, to launch Sprylogic's ground-breaking new app, Breaking
Sports, through iHeartMedia's FOX Sports Radio Network.
As part of the agreement, Breaking Sports will be integrated
within FOX Sports Radio's leading lineup of 24/7 programming, which
reaches nearly five million weekly listeners on more than 400 radio
stations nationwide. Throughout the day "Trending Now" sports
updates presented by Breaking Sports will be delivered during
popular programs including The Dan Patrick Show, The Rich
Eisen Show, Jay Mohr
Sports, Steve Gorman
Sports! and J.T. The Brick, keeping sports
listeners up to date on the latest news and information.
Breaking Sports tracks social media in real-time for significant
sports information and events and distributes summarized
information through real-time push notifications to consumers. By
utilizing advanced artificial intelligence techniques, Breaking
Sports can detect events as they happen and as they are announced
in social media, determine nature of the events, attribute events
to participants, summarize source articles, index the underlying
information, provide search of events and articles and send alerts
to fantasy players, sport fans and enthusiasts.
Compared to other similar products, Breaking Sports has the
differentiated advantage of not requiring human intervention when
detecting and generating alerts, thereby enabling faster delivery
of relevant information. Through a simple-to-use interface Breaking
Sports users specify what teams and players they are interested in
as well as what type of events they care about such as injuries,
roster moves, line-up changes, statistics, rumours and more.
In addition to tracking social media, Breaking Sports analyzes
statistical and play-by-play information to auto-generate news,
updating users on important facts that might not be covered through
traditional sports or social media. Users are able to review news
in a familiar feed/stream interface and search results, both of
which are ideally suited for monetization through native
advertising.
"We are very pleased to roll out our Breaking Sports app and
showcase our semantic search capabilities to millions of sports
fans through iHeartMedia's FOX Sports Radio properties," said
Marvin Igelman, CEO of
Sprylogics. "Breaking Sports will power the "Trending Now"
segments, helping deliver relevant and timely sports news to
listeners," added Igelman.
"We are excited to partner with Sprylogics to help connect
sports fans with this innovative app," said Darren
Davis, President of iHeartRadio and iHeartMedia Networks. "In
the ever-changing sports world, fans can't get enough information
about their favourite players and teams, and we believe this app
will provide FOX Sports Radio's loyal audience with additional
access to the content they're passionate about."
