Its  largest clients are in the area of sports including the Western Hockey League (WHL), Ontario Hockey League (OHL), Central Hockey League (CHL), British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL), Central Canadian Hockey League (CCHL), Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL), and Central Junior Hockey League (CJHL).

INSINC’s other sports clients include the Canadian Football League (CFL) and when combined with NeuLion clients the National Football League (NFL) and the approximately 175 US colleges, schools and conferences for which NeuLion provides online broadcasting of sports programming, the combined Company will have an unmatched presence in the delivery of online video experiences for the North American sports world.

INSINC also provides its services to government and entertainment broadcasting sectors with clients including Business News Network (BNN), CTV News Channel, Rogers Sportsnet, TVG Networks, The Canadian Press, the Canadian Ministry of Justice, the BC Ministry of Education, and the Legislative Assemblies of British Columbia and Newfoundland and Labrador among others.

Furthermore, our shareholders will be positioned to participate in the growth we expect in the IPTV industry for our combined company.”

Nancy Li added, “We believe that we are still only in the early stages of the evolution of IPTV and that this evolution will dramatically change how businesses interact with their consumers online and how viewers will consume media. NeuLion, with our particular expertise in sports and international programming, will now be further enhanced by the strong client relationships of INSINC, their strong team of people with unique domain expertise and the synergies that we believe will come from this business combination.”
