The NHL on Versus gets Jacked
According to the publication Broadcasting & Cable, the Versus network signed a deal with Jacked, an interactive broadcast provider. Versus will use the Jacked SportsTop onine application for its National Hockey League, college football and college basketball broadcasts. Jacked SportsTop was in use last season for NBC's Sunday Night Football broadcasts.
From Jacked's web site:
The Jacked SportsTop™ is a multifaceted interactive tool developed for sports programming that searches for and provides you the exact team, player, and game content you are most interested in receiving and viewing while you watch the television broadcast. Jacked is working on interactive tools for other television programming and will introduce them on a rolling basis, as they are developed.

The result is an enhanced sports news experience, delivering the real time game stats, photos, news, links to analysis, and the ability to connect with other fans. Jacked puts you in control, so you can make the call, customizing the widgets and content for your personalized dashboard. You can even view news, images, and stats for multiple games via multiple dashboards and save them for the next time you watch that sport or that team.
The NHL on Versus might be a bit more fun this season. Here's a quick look at the product which was obviously produced before the agreement with Versus.
