Akimbo, the IP VOD service launched which has not been received very well by reviewers over the last few months, is tying up with Major League Baseball’s Advanced Media unit to carry on-demand programming — Akimbo’s first deal with a top-tier sports organization.
Akimbo subscribers will have access to replays of full games from previous seasons and to an historical video archive of important games and programming about past and present star players.
Akimbo subscribers will also get highlights — 10- to 15-minute clips — of games the day after they’re played.
Akimbo won’t disclose subscribers for its service, but one analysts estimates it to be somewhere in the mid-six-figure range.
Release: Some implementation details: Akimbo’s MLBAM subscription service will feature daily auto-delivery of condensed games and highlights. In addition Akimbo allows subscribers to choose and begin downloading MLBAM game replays from anywhere they have access to the Internet in order to watch the programs when they get home.
