Jonny Keogh, UK&I Sports Lead at YouTube joins Andy and Charlie on the Sports Loft podcast. Having previously worked at Sky, Jonny now helps major rightsholders and sports creators make the most of YouTube.

Some of the topics we discuss include:

What benefits are rightsholders and broadcasters seeing from having live games on the platform?

Where is AI being used in the YouTube platform to create new content and commercial opportunities?
