NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Screenvision Media, a national leader in cinema advertising, today announced the launch of Screenvision Sports (SV Sports), a new division that will capture advertising dollars to drive incremental revenue for professional sports leagues, teams and properties. Initial partnerships with the New York Mets, Minor League Baseballtm (MiLBtm), ISM Connect, which manages digital fan experiences for NASCAR; and the American Hockey League (AHL), projecting an audience of more than 40 million for the 2020 season.

"SV Sports is a natural extension of our core business model, broadening Screenvision's reach beyond in-cinema to in-venue, while continuing to deliver engaging content to a highly passionate fanbase," said John Partilla, CEO, Screenvision Media.
