StreamAMG

What StreamAMG does

StreamAMG (legally Stream UK Media Services Limited) is a UK-based provider of end-to-end OTT streaming and payments infrastructure purpose-built for sports rights-holders. Founded in 2001 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PA Media Group since 2017, the company offers a platform-plus-modules architecture comprising BLAZE (next-generation end-to-end OTT for web, mobile, and connected TV), MediaPlatform (core online video platform), CloudMatrix (feed-based video distribution with metadata and archive tools), CloudPay (legacy subscription management), and the Stripe-powered Fusion Payments Platform. Add-on capabilities include Growth Marketing services, Applicaster-powered Connected TV app deployment, StreamTranscribe (ML-driven captioning via Amazon Transcribe), and affiliate monetization. The Manchester-based Live Operations team provides 24/7 eyes-on-glass monitoring with a 99.9% uptime guarantee during major events, demonstrated across workloads such as the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 (92 games over 16 days to 170+ territories).

The company serves more than 50 sports rights-holders globally — including ATP Media, FIBA, The FA, Premiership Rugby, World Curling Federation, the National League, EFL and Premier League clubs, Curling Canada, and the European League of Football — delivering 15,000-20,000+ live events annually across 200+ countries. Revenue is generated primarily through enterprise SaaS and platform licensing on multi-year contracts, supplemented by transaction-based pay-per-view (processed through the Fusion Payments Platform via Stripe), professional services (Growth Marketing, Development Days), and Connected TV app fees. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting decision-makers at leagues, federations, and clubs, with channel leverage through AWS, Stripe, Applicaster, and SIGA partnerships.

Since the 2017 acquisition by PA Media Group, StreamAMG's revenue has doubled and EBITDA increased fourfold (per a 2022 PA Media statement), though no specific revenue figure is publicly disclosed. The company operates from London (HQ at The Point, Paddington), Manchester (Tomorrow Building, MediaCityUK, Salford — operations and live customer support), and Gzira, Malta. Recent strategic activity includes the April 2025 appointment of Paul Hunt as Managing Director (ex-Genius Sports, Second Spectrum), the 2024 launch of BLAZE, the 2025/2026 rollout of the Stripe-powered Fusion Payments Platform, and partnerships with Lancashire Cricket and THE GATE extending reach into Southeast Asia including Indonesia.
