is ready to pump even more premium video into your tweet-stream from a range of new and existing partners — with an emphasis on live-streamed content.

The company announced 30-some content deals at its 2018 Digital Content NewFronts event Monday in New York City. Those include pacts with NBCUniversal, Disney/ESPN, Viacom, Vice Media and Will Packer Media. The partnerships span entertainment, news, lifestyle, music, gaming and sports, including expansions of existing deals with Live Nation Entertainment, Major League Baseball and Major League Soccer.

Twitter’s video views have nearly doubled in the past year, according to the company, although it declined to provide specific numbers. Last week, Twitter said video now accounts for more than half of its ad revenue and was again the fastest-growing ad format in the first quarter of 2018.

Company execs played up Twitter’s focus on live, this-is-happening-now immediacy in touting the new content slate. “Twitter is the only place where conversation is tied to video and the biggest live moments,” said Matt Derella, Twitter global VP of revenue and content partnerships. “That’s our superpower.” In its first-ever NewFronts last year, Twitter announced 16 content partnerships — and, according to the company, it’s been able to sell advertising and/or sponsorships for all of those.

The wide-ranging pact with Disney/ESPN for advertising and live programming, announced ahead of the NewFronts presentation, excited Twitter investors — who sent the company’s shares up 4.5% Monday on news of the deal.

ESPN is planning to launch five shows and programming initiatives for Twitter, two of which were detailed at Twitter’s NewFronts session. Launch dates for the ESPN content on Twitter haven’t been set yet.

First is “SportsCenter Live,” which will feature talent from ESPN’s flagship TV program and other reporters who will deliver breaking news coverage in Twitter Moments and on the new @SCLive account. “SportsCenter Live” content also will be distributed across ESPN’s existing handles, including @SportsCenter, which has 35.8 million followers.

In addition, ESPN’s “Fantasy Focus Live” will live-stream the daily podcast hosted by Matthew Berry, Field Yates, Stephania Bell and Daniel Dopp. The show provides player previews, injury reports, game overviews and strategies, as well as featured guests and interviews, focused on NFL football. The show will engage Twitter users by taking questions from fans and incorporating their opinions.

ESPN has worked with Twitter since 2007, but this represents its biggest investment in original content for the platform to date, said Travis Howe, ESPN’s senior VP of platform ad sales strategy and global operations. “We’ve gained a material amount of insights over the last 10 years,” he said, calling Twitter “the best platform to talk about anything live, and especially breaking news.”

NBCU is another significant new video-content partner for Twitter. Under that pact, NBCU will distribute a variety of live video and clips from across its portfolio — including NBC, NBC News, MSNBC, CNBC, Telemundo, the “Today” show, and E! News — on Twitter.

The new partnerships with Disney/ESPN, NBCU and others are the result of Twitter analyzing what users want on the platform, according to Kay Madati, Twitter’s global head of content partnerships.

For example, looking at #BlackTwitter trends, Twitter inked partnerships with BET and Will Packer, the producer behind movie hits including “Girls Trip,” “Ride Along,” and “Straight Outta Compton.”

Also, based on the Twitter conversation around empowered women and the #HereWeAre hashtag, the company is bringing new content developed on those themes from HuffPost, A+E Networks’ History, Vox Media and BuzzFeed News to the platform. Twitter ran its first-ever ad during the Oscars this year, a 60-second spot promoting #HereWeAre.

“In the past year, we’ve really expanded our efforts with the best publishers and content creators in the world to bring a slate of programming that reflects those diverse content interests,” Madati said.

Twitter held its NewFronts presentation at the Terminal 5 music venue in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan.

Here’s a rundown of other new original and live programming deals Twitter announced and highlighted:
