Cinesport, Scripps/ULive and Tout. The company plans include expanding
the network internationally.

announcement underscores our plan to expand that network through
creative collaborations with partners that believe in premium content.
We’re thrilled to be working with Hulu, Yahoo and Zealot,” said J.R.
McCabe, SVP, Time Inc. Video.

an exciting win for the audience, our publishing partners and Zealot.”
