the region's go-to platform for sporting content – QYOU will
deliver 13 half-hour episodes titled "Q Sports Presented by Flow
Sports" featuring a mix of videos that tap into the sporting
culture in and around the Caribbean. QYOU and Flow Sports have
selected some of the most popular online videos from the region and
around the world – including cricket, football, athletics and
American sports popular in the region, interspersed with exciting
feats of athleticism – to create the customized shows. Leah Marville, former Miss Barbados World, will
host this engaging new content package.

Sean Riley, Managing
Director, Flow Sports said: "In less than 18 months Flow Sports has
become the most-viewed sports network in the Caribbean in part because we strive to
constantly raise the bar for sports programming by delivering high
quality unique sports content through new innovative formats. These
13 diverse and engaging shows are catered directly to Flow Sports'
viewers and will help us reach more
sports-loving millennials in the region, wherever they chose to
watch Flow Sports – at home or on the go via the Flow Sports
app."
Amory Schwartz, QYOU EVP of
Sales, said: ''The Caribbean
is home to some of the world's greatest athletes, so it is hardly
surprising that the region is a huge consumer of sports content,
from English Premier League to the Davis Cup tennis and everything
in between – including short-form sports moments that demonstrate
some of the most thrilling skills and feats of athleticism on the
planet. We're delighted to be working with a
forward-thinking company like Flow that is always looking for new
ways to enhance its digital portfolio and cater to the changing
