00:30We have been partners with Squash TV for almost as long.
00:34Being here today, such a major event, is a great pleasure to us.
00:38Hi, I'm Lee Beachel, I'm the Chief Operating Officer of the Professional Squash Association
00:42and I'm also responsible for the Squash TV product.
00:46Please welcome world number eight, Gina Kenny!

01:00We're here at the 104 Complex here in Paris, where hundreds of fans across four days
01:07get to witness the amazing squash that takes place on the glass court behind me.
01:11Also, amongst the fans obviously that get to witness the event,
01:15here in person we have hundreds of thousands of fans that get to witness across all our platforms
01:22and in particular Squash TV.

01:34and we're on track to beat our 16% year-on-year target of increase of subscribers and viewers across
01:41our platforms.
01:47Our role at Dailymotion is to help to squash TV with the streaming experience to make sure that
01:54they're serving their audiences with a reliable product, fluid as much as possible and at a certain speed.
