Realizing that many fans multi-task while watching their games on TV, the Bucks have launched a new "TV Companion," which will provide access to game notes, real-time stats, breaking news, shot charts and play-by-play analysis.
The companion, available at bucks.com, also allows fans to interact with other fans, team personnel and on-air talent via a chat function as well as Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and Yahoo! chats.
There will be halftime and post-game video highlights, updated box scores and other features.
"The Milwaukee Bucks TV Companion provides fans with a user-friendly experience to lean back and easily access information while enjoying the game on television," said Bryan Perez, senior vice president and general manager, NBA Digital.
"We recognize the growing number of fans who simultaneously consume the NBA via television and the Internet, and this is the perfect broadcast companion for fans to experience all the action on the court, while connecting with friends on their preferred social network."
