Friend MTS has announced that Saran Media Group one of the leading media companies specialising in sports and entertainment broadcasting across Turkey, the Turkic republics, and Eastern Europe, has chosen FMTS' anti-piracy services to protect top flight live sports including NFL, La Liga, NBA, Serie A, EuroLeague, UFC and Wimbledon on its S Sport Plus OTT service.

Saran Media's aggressive growth strategy is based on increasing investments in high value sports, and it chose to partner with FMTS to protect that content. By using FMTS' world-class services, Saran Media is sending a clear signal of its commitment to content security as a responsible partner to rights holders. The solution went live in April 2025.

Launched in 2018, Saran Media's S Sport Plus is a subscription-based OTT platform offering live streaming and on-demand replays of some of the world's most prestigious sports leagues and events. By securing the rights to Bundesliga till the end of 2028-2029 season, Saran Media has played a crucial role in bringing the excitement of German football, with its many Turkish players, to Turkish audiences. Its multi-view feature allows users to watch up to seven live matches simultaneously, enhanced by high-quality production, and expert commentary from seasoned analysts. Beyond sports, the platform also provides access to nearly 60 live TV channels, ranging from popular national broadcasters and international documentary and series channels to lifestyle and entertainment content—creating a comprehensive digital viewing hub for subscribers.

By selecting FMTS Global Monitoring, Saran Media is benefiting from the industry's fastest speed at detecting sources of piracy. This is particularly critical during live sports and events where every second counts.

Özgür Oğuz, Chief Marketing Officer, S Sport Plus, said: "We are rapidly expanding the top tier content we offer to S Sport Plus audiences and take our responsibilities to protect our investments from piracy very seriously. With its long-standing reputation for developing new innovations to fight piracy, Friend MTS impressed us with their detailed understanding of the nuances of the piracy landscape and how it is evolving. We are already seeing the benefits of using FMTS piracy monitoring services and look forward to evolving the partnership in the future."
