TrillerTV has reported that Keith Evans, the company’s chief streaming operations officer, died unexpectedly on June 16th at his home in Henderson, Nevada.
Evans joined TrillerTV, formerly FITE TV, in 2016, and was responsible for all aspects of airing programming on the platform coordinating with the producers at the venues, the satellite companies, other third-party technology companies, and TrillerTV’s own engineers in order to deliver the best signal possible for the platform’s event.
Evans previously directed operations for major promotions including PFL-predecessor World Series of Fighting as its COO, Tapout Worldwide as CEO, International Fight League as VP of Operations and at the UFC as Director of Information Systems.

We’ve already heard from so many leaders in the industry remembering Keith and his impact on streaming sports. He’s going to be missed by so many.”
