Turner Sports’ Catch Sports Uses Alexa To Find Specific Games Streams On Phones, Laptops

Turner Sports’ Catch Sports app, which serves as a digital personal assistant for fans, has developed a number of Alexa skills that can help find where to watch the game or ask for a recommendation on what to watch.

In a nod to how viewers are turning to their laptops and phones to stream games, Catch Sports has Alexa skills just for that.

  • Alexa, ask Catch Sports what mobile app the New York Knicks game is on
  • Alexa, ask Catch Sports how I can watch the Cincinnati Bengals game on my phone
  • Alexa, ask Catch Sports where I can stream the San Francisco Giants game on my iPhone
  • Alexa, ask Catch Sports what app has the Atlanta Hawks game on
  • Alexa, ask Catch Sports if the Chicago Blackhawks game is available to watch on my phone

  • Alexa, ask Catch Sports what website can I watch the Denver Nuggets game on
  • Alexa, ask Catch Sports how I can stream the New England Patriots game on my laptop
  • Alexa, ask Catch Sports where I can watch the Houston Texans game on my computer
  • Alexa, ask Catch Sports what streaming site has the Miami Heat game on
  • Alexa, ask Catch Sports if the Nebraska Cornhuskers basketball game is available to watch on my computer

Catch Sports also has Alexa skills to find the TV channel number for a specific game or recommend a sports game to watch — even if it’s not on a Turner network.

Once a Catch Sports account is linked to an account in the Alexa app, giving verbal commands to devices like Amazon Echo and Echo Dot does the trick.

Alexa skills also enable fans to get daily team news briefs and updates along with scores and schedules.
