How Jamaican can watch GraceKennedy Boys’ and Girls’ Athletics Championships Live on 1spotmedia


It's that time of year again when friends become bitter rivals as they support their schools during the ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys’ and Girls’ Athletics Championships!

The action starts March 20 -24, 2018 and you can catch it all on 1Spotmedia, the RJR-Gleaner Communication Group's streaming platform. Over this five (5) day period, 1Spotmedia will stream live the most anticipated high school track and field event showcasing the best of Jamaica’s athletic talent.

This Pay-Per-view access will allow you to watch live one of the most enjoyable events on the athletics calendar and experience the camaraderie of high school athletics!

So how do you get in on the action?

1spotmedia portal - Free viewing for Jamaican but diaspora must pay

The 1Spotmedia portal delivers thousands of hours of engaging video on demand content and live streaming of the Group’s four television brands:

1.      TVJ
2.      TVJSN
3.      JNN
4.      RETV

They also have five (5) radios stations that the website streams as well:

1.      RJR 94FM
2.      FAME 95FM
3.      Hitz 92FM
4.      Power 106FM
5.      Music 99FM

Good to note most of them have their own streaming services, which you can find listed in my MICO Wars Blog article entitled “How to get Streaming Jamaican Radio Stations”..

Viewers in Jamaica can watch the event “on the go” via TVJ and TVJSN for free on http://www.1spotmedia.com or on the 1spotmedia app.

All you have to do is register on http://www.1spotmedia.com for the ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys’ and Girls’ Athletics Championships Pay Per View. The prices are as follows:

1.      US$25.99 for ‘Early Early Bird’ season pass
2.      US$27.99 for the ‘Early Bird’ season pass

Good to note you can access this early bird passes on March 10 and March 17, a good amount of time before the action begins.  For the rest of the normal folk abroad, regular and Day Passes are as follows:

1.      US$34.99 for Regular season pass
2.      US$10.99 for Day 1 Pass
3.      US$10.99 for Day 2 Pass
4.      US$10.99 for Day 3 Pass     
5.      US$15.99 for Day 4 Pass
6.      US$20.99 for Day 5 Pass       

Something tells me that this is really more for Jamaicans living outside of Jamaica, as no Jamaican is willing to use their credit card to purchase items online. They can register for the Pay-Per-View experience and then download the 1spotmedia App from the Google Play Store and in the Apple App Store on any mobile device.        

Last year the team from Calabar High captured their sixth consecutive Boys Championships title and Edwin Allen captured their fifth Girls title, when both teams eliminated their rivals. Who will win this year?
