XLEAGUE.TV is a broadcast production unit owned by The New World Assembly Group, creating and providing content on its primary subject of video games. It looks to cover competitive video gaming called eSports by providing coverage for organisers like the Electronic Sports League and United Kingdom eSports Association.
[edit] HistoryXLEAGUE.TV was launched on SKY channel 291, on 16 May 2007.[1] The channel partners with EVS Broadcast Equipment, to use its live outside broadcast digital video production systems on television productions.[2] Fresh new programming was announced to air alongside its existing line-up of shows. This was the result of community feedback from its viewers.[3] The channel recently announced that it was partnering with fellow UK tournament organisers, Enemy Down to run a series of team games for titles including Counter-Strike: Source in the Packard Bell European Open, which the hardware manufacturer will be supporting with prizes.[4] XLEAGUE.TV announced a brand alliance with the Alex Zane Breakfast Show on UK radio station, XFM.[5] It was revealed that the channel had entered into an agreement with US men's entertainment channel MavTV, who had provided the niche sports content.[6] The channel rebrands as Pulse, which would be made up of separately branded XLEAGUE.TV and MavTV blocks. The EPG channel number moved to SKY channel 208.[7] The channel still retains all the XLEAGUE programmes and website, prior to the rebrand. XLEAGUE.TV, alongside the Metropolitan Police Service, TNWA Group, Packard Bell, London Borough of Southwark, Microsoft and Electronic Arts launch Project Gamerz, an initiative to bring eSports to the local community.[8] Pulse continues with its "brand block" by introducing Martial Arts TV into the channel.[9] Portland TV denies that XLEAGUE.TV has been axed.[10] The channel was in an consultation period and reassessing its content and format. On 6 February 2009, it was announced that XLEAGUE.TV has been bought out by TNWA Group and that XLEAGUE.TV will become a productions unit to create shows for other outlets.[11] Its online operations has been merged with Enemy Down.[12] [edit] The channelWhen XLEAGUE.TV was previously owned by Portland TV, XLEAGUE.TV was an eSports channel concentrating on the competitive side of video gaming. In this respect, it differs from other examples of video game programming in the country, such as Cybernet, which had a broader remit, to cover video games in general. The channel is closely paired to its own self-titled website.[13] The online resource encourages community discussion, while also serving as a platform to organise tournaments and invitational events, some of which may later be screened, on the channel, via its flagship programme, The Match. The XLEAGUE.TV website provided interviews with standout competitors, be they clans or individuals. General news updates are provided from the world of gaming, along with the ability to sign up to participate in league or tournaments, in the search of recognition, fun and prizes. Some games offer sponsored free-play, whilst others require a subscription for entrance.[14] Users can upload videos they have created on the website as well, which may be featured in future programming. The site also offers a community podcast in the form of Talkback, in which XLEAGUE.TV community and channel staff offer their views on raised concerns, and fill the audience in as to upcoming highlights. The channel went through a rebrand, where XLEAGUE.TV became a "brand block", alongside MavTV, Cultra and Martial Arts TV on Pulse, an entertainment channel previously on the British Sky Broadcasting satellite network in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland.
