Kansas City, Mo. (July 31, 2017) - Kansas City, Mo. (July 31, 2017) - The Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association in partnership with BlueFrame Technology is pleased to announce the availability of The MIAA Network.  The MIAA Network will feature content from the conference office and all 14 MIAA members.  Starting August 1st with the MIAA football media day, fans can find all the action on www.themiaanetwork.com and on The MIAA Network apps for Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Apple TV, and Roku.  The live-first app design provides fans of the MIAA easy access to the most timely content from across the entire network.  Each member has their own channel in the app, and the app’s user-configurable interface allows viewers to efficiently search through archived broadcasts.
 
“One exciting feature of the new MIAA Network is that our fans will be able to watch all of the action on their smart TV's,” said MIAA Commissioner Mike Racy.  “The new Network is so much more than an internet broadcast for your laptop.  Through the 4 OTT apps rolled out today, we now have a digital sports network that allows our fans to watch when, where and how they want.”
 
The MIAA Network will offer some MIAA sports as free-to-view contests to drive increased viewership of those events.  In addition to the live sporting events, The MIAA Network will work to develop programming focused on highlighting community service, as well as athletic and academic success of its student-athletes and member institutions. The use of social media platforms in addition to the MIAA portals will be utilized to promote and distribute this content.
 
“The MIAA Network has provided numerous opportunities for BlueFrame to highlight our platform features and flexibility,” said BlueFrame Technology CEO Ben Kant.  “OTT applications, a unique hybrid pay-to-view and free-to-view model, and content management to meet the needs of all the MIAA member institutions are some examples.  From production to distribution, BlueFrame is providing a holistic, world-class solution.”
