YouTube's AVBYTE Wins FOX Sports Digital Video Fest

Fox Sports and Youtube Space LA teamed up to bring 12 Youtube channels from across the United States to discover the next big idea in sports video as part of Fox Sports Digital VideoFest. For three days, Youtube creators pushed the creative envelope by writing, shooting, and editing a pilot at Youtube Space LA for a new sports series on www.youtube.com/foxsports andwww.FOXSports.com.

The winning video came from the AVByte Youtube channel, who re-envisioned "This Week in Sports" as a one-minute musical, and received a Fox Sports development deal, including investment in additional content creation and promotion across FOX Sports' media channels.
