Going Digital

The NBA's WASHINGTON WIZARDS have launched a streaming channel available through the team's app and via TUNEIN. WIZARDS RADIO 24/7, similar to the team's sister NHL club's CAPS RADIO 24/7 stream, is sponsored by WGL ENERGY and includes podcasts, reports, and highlights from classic games.

"Welcome to radio in 2017. It is digital and on demand,” said longtime WIZARDS play-by-play voice DAVE JOHNSON, who is also providing a daily Flash Briefing accessible through an AMAZON Alexa skill. “WIZARDS RADIO 24/7 is a dynamic addition to the already informative and entertaining WASHINGTON WIZARDS app. One click of the listen icon on the app and your WIZARDS experience will be audibly enhanced."

“AMAZON Alexa and audio AI in general is growing at such a rapid pace that we knew it was a space the WIZARDS needed to venture into,” said Dir./Digital Media JACOB RAIM. “Building these products out will greatly enhance Alexa’s knowledge about the team and in turn user experience. We were very fortunate to partner with the NBA on the Alexa Skill, and then teamed up with ISTRATEGYLABS to produce the first daily Flash Briefing in the NBA.”
