Overview
Overtime.tv creates and distributes original sports content targeted at the next generation of athletes and fans. It operates in digital media and e-commerce, producing high-quality videos, articles, and live streams (with a focus on basketball) and delivering them through social media and its own website. The company also runs a direct-to-consumer merchandise business, selling hoodies, tees, shorts, accessories, and basketball gear, often in collaboration with influencers and athletes. Revenue comes from advertising, sponsorships, and direct merch sales across its online store. Compared with competitors, Overtime.tv combines youth-focused, short-form sports content with a strong influencer-driven merchandise program and cross-channel distribution, creating a tight link between content and commerce. Its goal is to engage and grow a community of young athletes and basketball fans by providing engaging content and a branded, purchasable lifestyle.
