NBC Sports Regional Networks' digital platforms recently closed out a record year of growth. Several milestones were set throughout key metrics that tracked the rise of web traffic, live stream video consumption and social media engagement.

In addition, franchise partners such as the Mets, Cubs and Capitals climbed to the top of their respective divisions, combining fan interest with each network's digital growth strategy to produce record results.
We serve ultra-passionate and tech savvy fan bases in large markets from coast to coast, said Jen Franklin, VP of Digital for NBC Sports Regional Networks. Our digital touch points are growing at a remarkable rate and allow us to strengthen relationships with fans in ways that extend well beyond their television sets.
