BAMTech Media, the technology services and video streaming operation spun out of MLBAM, quietly launched a corporate web site last week as the company pushes toward a bigger deal with The Walt Disney Company that will center on an array of new direct-to-consumer OTT offerings.

BamTECH also has its own logo, as well as presences on a set of social media channels – Twitter (@bamtechmedia), Facebook and LinkedIn.

Dan Rayburn, EVP of StreamingMedia.com and a principal analyst at Frost & Sullivan, caught wind of the web site launch last week:

The presence on the web comes as Disney looks to pay $1.58 billion for an additional 42% stake in BAMTech, following an earlier deal that netted Disney a 33% stake in the OTT specialist, which is now led by CEO Michael Paull.

The BAMTech site offers the typical kind of details and background one would expect, while also listing some stats that speak to the scalability of its platform, noting that in 2016 the company streamed 50,000-plus live events and 100,000-plus hours of content. It also touts having the capacity for more than 450 live simultaneous events, underpinned by TOCs in New York, San Francisco and Amsterdam and datacenters on six continents.

And BAMTech is looking to grow rapidly, based on its dozens of open positions, including several broadcast infrastructure engineering slots, director/VP of business development and content acquisition, Android and Apple platforms engineers, director or eSports marketing, VP of growth/user acquisition, Minor League Baseball Cutter (part-time), senior product manager of Ad Tech, and UX/product designer, to name but just a few.

BAMTech Media, the technology services and video streaming operation spun out of MLBAM, confirmed that Kevin Swint has joined the company as senior vice president and general manager, Disney SVOD Service.

Swint, an exec who is late of Samsung and Apple, reports to BAMTech CEO Michael Paull.

BAMTech didn’t expand on the details of Swint’s new role, but Variety, which first reported the hire, said Swint’s duties will include running a new OTT-delivered subscription service that will compete with Netflix.

The hiring comes as The Walt Disney Company acquires a majority stake in BAMTech, and moves ahead on a plan to launch Disney- and ESPN-branded direct to consumer products.

Per his Linked In profile, Swint has most recently been serving as an advisor and consultant and investor in markets spanning VR, video, social media and cross-channel retail.

Prior to that, he was VP, product/content and services at Samsung Electronics and, while there, built the team that developed and launched Samsung’s Milk Video short-form streaming video service.  Before Samsung, he was director, iTunes at Apple, and was senior director/GM, head of digital products, content and services at Walmart.
