What It Is

Your alumni are everywhere.
Bring them home.

Buzz Alumni Channels is a branded fan engagement platform built specifically for athletic programs. It gives your community a structured, monetizable home — one you own and control.

🏢

Your Branded Community Hub

A school-colored channel page with your logo, mascot, and branding. Fans join by name, choose a tier, and become part of something official — not a random Facebook group.

🎙

Live Watch Parties

Stream any game or event with synchronized real-time chat, emoji reactions, and a video Q&A queue where fans submit questions for athletes to answer live.

🏆

Player Spotlight Series

Give your athletes and coaches a platform. Host recurring spotlights, Q&A sessions, and behind-the-scenes content — with tier-gated access for program supporters.

📈

Sponsor Revenue & Analytics

Sell sponsor placements that appear in the banner strip and stream overlay during watch parties. Every impression and click is tracked with per-sponsor reporting.

🏅

Fan Points & Leaderboard

Fans earn points for watching, chatting, reacting, and referring friends. A live leaderboard makes loyalty visible and competitive.

📷

Downloads & Schedule

Publish a unified schedule of upcoming events and offer tier-gated downloads — playbooks, wallpapers, digital game programs — to reward premium members.

Every Feature

Built for game day and beyond

Everything your fan community needs in one place — no stitching together tools.

💬

Real-Time Chat

Live chat during watch parties with message history, role badges for hosts and athletes, and rate limiting to keep it clean.

🔥

Emoji Reaction Bursts

Fans send fire, clapping, and celebration reactions that float up the stream in real time for everyone to see.

🎥

Video Q&A Queue

Fans submit questions. Admin reviews and promotes to green room, then live. Athletes answer on stream.

💰

Sponsor Packages

Banner strip and stream-overlay sponsor placements with impression tracking, click-through analytics, and per-sponsor revenue reports.

🏅

Points & Leaderboard

Join (25 pts), watch live (25 pts), send a message (2 pts), react (1 pt). Top fans appear on the public leaderboard.

👥

Membership Tiers

Free, Supporter, Insider, and Digital Booster tiers — each unlocking more content, shows, and downloads. Powered by Stripe.

📅

Event Schedule

A unified calendar of watch parties and broadcasts. Upcoming events show countdown timers so fans can plan ahead.

🏔

Local Watch Spots

A map of local bars and venues near campus that show games — helping fans find the community even when they can't watch alone.

📊

Admin Analytics

Channel-level dashboard: total fans, engagement events, tier breakdown, sponsor performance, and fan leaderboard data.

How It Works

Live in three steps

We set up your channel. You run it. Your fans fund it.

1

We Provision Your Channel

Send us your school name, colors, logo, and conference. We build your branded channel page at itsbuzzing.com/alumni/[your-slug] and connect it to your Stripe account for membership payments.

2

You Create Events & Content

Use the admin dashboard to create watch parties, add athlete shows, upload downloads, and set up sponsor packages. Everything is self-serve after setup.

3

Fans Join & Revenue Flows

Share your channel link with your mailing list and social following. Fans join free or choose a paid tier. Membership revenue is direct to your Stripe account.

Revenue Model

Three revenue streams. Zero guesswork.

Your channel isn't just community — it's a recurring revenue asset.

Why it compounds

Unlike a one-time donation or a single-game ticket, a digital booster membership renews every month. 100 Digital Boosters alone generates $4,900/month — $58,800 annually — without a single in-person event.

Membership Subscriptions $9, $19, or $49/month per fan. Recurring, Stripe-powered, zero manual invoicing.
Sponsor Packages Sell banner and overlay placements to local businesses, alumni-owned companies, or regional brands. Backed by impression + click data.
Spotlight Series Engagement Player and coach spotlights tied to supporter tiers give fans a reason to upgrade every time new content drops.
