There’s a great website for sports fans run by two Westfield residents called moresportsnow.com. The site is designed to provide the fan with the latest take on the hottest topics in all of sports. You will find the latest sports news through shared articles, a blog, audio content and a link to their own YouTube channel.
The site is run by Matt Loughlin and Steve Tichenor of Westfield with contributions from John McAleavey of Short Hills. Matt Loughlin is the reigning NJ Sportscaster of the year. He currently can be heard on the FAN as the radio play by play announcer for the New Jersey Devils. Before that he was an Emmy award winning sideline reporter covering the Mets, Devils and Nets for the MSG Network. Steve Tichenor is a freelance producer, writer and voice talent who runs his own audio studio in his Westfield home. His voice has been featured on numerous TV and radio commercials. He also produces video and audio projects for corporate clients.
“Matt lives across the street and I had recorded him for a few projects. We thought it would be fun putting a sports show together,” Tichenor explains. “We started with a weekly audio segment called 5 on 5, which is five minutes on the top five sports stories of the week and it evolved from there.” They later added the Daily Brief, which is one minute on the hot topic of the day.
Last year, John McAleavey, who has worked for a couple of sports media outlets, joined the team and began writing a blog called My Two Sense. After that a YouTube channel was launched featuring two segments; ‘On the Road’, where they travel to various businesses and discuss sports, and ‘Friday Coffee’, where they chat about the latest hot topic at a local coffee shop.
The site’s audience is steadily growing and currently averages close to 10,000 hits a week. They raise revenue by offering banner space on the site. Current sponsors are Beach House Brewery, the Sports Academy, Athletic Development Coaching and two sports bars.
Matt, Steve and John are always looking for new sponsors and would love to come out and shoot a segment at your business. If interested please contact info@moresportsnow.co
