Sky and ITV invest £3m into gaming channel Ginx eSports TV

TV broadcasters Sky and ITV have each pumped £1.55m into Ginx TV, with the option to acquire more of the business at a later date.
Ginx owns UK and Ireland 24-hour TV channel Ginx eSports TV which went live this summer.
Ginx eSports TV broadcasts global eSports tournaments as well as offering a range of different gaming shows. The channel has already brought on a host of guests from the UK eSports scene including caster Tridd, Team Dignitas and many more.
The schedule includes coverage of Turner’s ELEAGUE tournament, FACEIT’s eSports Championship Series and Valve’s Dota 2 International, which GINX eSports TV covered live from its new King’s Cross studio.
Other content partners will include Riot, Activision, EGL, Gfinity and more will be announced.
Ginx eSports TV is now on Sky channel 470, after rebranding from Ginx TV which aired on Virgin Media channel 290.
Ginx is also available to Sky Q customers via the online video section of the Sky Q EPG.
Outside the UK & Ireland, Ginx is apparently distributed to an additional 23m households, making it the largest eSports TV channel in the world, reaching 37m homes.
Emma Lloyd, group director of business development and strategic partnerships at Sky, commented: “We’re really excited to have followed up our commercial partnership with Ginx with this investment, which will help us deepen our understanding of eSports and its audience.
“At Sky we are committed to bringing new programmes and channels such as Ginx eSports TV to support and extend our leadership position in content.”
Sky has also invested in the Drone Racing League, which will be shown on Sky Sports Mix, TRX, the online marketplace for TV rights and fuboTV.
