With numerous alternative broadcasts, including one focused on the brands of Dude Perfect and The Shop, another that highlighted NFL Next Gent stats, a dedicated feed in Spanish, and more, there was something to watch for everyone. For this digital-only production, the company was given the 2023 Sports Emmy for Outstanding Interactive Experience Event Coverage.
