History of the company

The company LAOLA1 Multimedia GmbH was founded on July 13, the 2,001th It is based in Vienna and is a subsidiary of the sportsman media holding . The managing directors are Thomas Krohne , President of the German Volleyball Association , Karl Wieseneder and Rainer Geier.

The company's first project was the Sport1.at website , which mainly specialized in highlight videos . This site was replaced six years later by Laola1.tv and a focus on live sports broadcasts. The company also produced various websites, for example for the German national team or professional clubs such as VfB Stuttgart or Hertha BSC .

In 2009, the company acquired the live broadcast rights to the Spanish Primera División . The broadcasts from Spain made the site better known and brought it up to 1.3 million viewers. Thanks to cooperation with the online offers of Bild and Sport Bild , these numbers could even be increased to over two million in some cases. Since 2012, a game of the German Ice Hockey League has been broadcast every weekend , reaching a reach of around one hundred thousand live viewers.

Laola1.tv is one of the most visited websites in Austria and is the largest sports portal in the country. According to data from the ÖWA , the various offers of the Laola1 umbrella brand had an average of 6.4 million visits per month in 2013 with an average length of stay of around nine minutes. Almost 55 percent of the visitors came from Austria. According to its own statement, Laola1.tv is “Europe's largest video platform in the sports sector”. Since the 2016/17 season, Laola no longer holds the live broadcasting rights to the Spanish first division, so instead only highlights from the Primera División are offered. Since then, the competitor DAZN has had the corresponding rights.

The live streams are generally free of charge. The site also offers a paid premium membership, which makes it possible to watch streams and videos in HD quality and reduce advertising. There is also a Laola1.tv app. The laola1.at website is operated in parallel to laola1.tv and has primarily focused on the provision of sports news.

In 2016 the company was incorporated into the Swiss Sportradar AG. The laola1 brand was retained. Rainer Geier became the new managing director.
