Honeymoon in full swing for Kayo and Dazn
As Kayo CEO Julian Ogrin tells Mumbrella, being a sports streamer owned by the biggest global sports broadcaster is a pretty good position to be in.
Over 250,000 people are flooding Adelaide this weekend for the AFL’s Gather Round, and Kayo Sports have exclusive live rights for the Saturday games. Kayo sign-ups are up 16% year-on-year. And last week, London-based sports broadcaster Dazn finalised its takeover of Kayo’s parent company, Foxtel Group.
No wonder Kayo CEO Julian Ogrin seems so chipper.
“It’s exciting for us. We’re now a sports-led organisation in the Foxtel Group, and Kayo is a sports-only business, and to be bought out by a sports-led company that truly understands us and our IP is exciting.”
