Virally growing advertising revenues and premium service subscriptions at a
dramatic rate, FilmOn is automating online TV distribution and offering
affiliate partners access to the most lucrative content business online. A
Juniper Research study of the Mobile TV & Video market has found that by 2017,
revenues from streaming and download services on mobile and tablet devices will
reach $9.5 billion, up from $4.5 billion this year.
In less than five minutes affiliates can be up and running with their own web
and mobile site branded with their corporate image preloaded with commercials
and subscriptions packages. There are no setup charges and there are several
options to add the content.
FilmOn, which today serves over one billion video streams a month, has
partnered with the best ad networks and advertising agencies online, including
Videology, Brightroll, Yume, Google, Evolve Media and many more.
In a simple step-by-step process, an Internet publisher can create their very
own branded Live TV website which also works as a mobile app. In just a few
minutes they can upload logos and custom backgrounds and be online selling
subscriptions and delivering advertising to global or local audiences.
Hundreds of prolific web publishers and advertisers have embraced FilmOn's Live
TV affiliate platform which comes bundled with a content library of over 600
linear live TV channels and 45,000 Video On Demand titles. Publishers include
the likes of Lenovo/IBM, Blackberry, KM Player, TVGuide, Frostwire, and other
major Internet publishers.
'FrostWire (over 500 Million installs) is one of the most popular file sharing
applications on the net and, more recently, in the mobile world. From the start
FrostWire has worked to level the playing field for content creators willing to
offer free content online to an audience that enjoys free downloads. Partnering
with FilmOn gives us an opportunity to offer free live TV content and entertain
our worldwide community in a way previously unavailable with ease.
'Within just a few weeks of testing the FilmOn platform on our mobile users, we
can see the value of live TV online. This is a really attractive offering which
keeps our users coming back for more everyday. With an ever growing offering of
channels and the affiliate platform, we think FilmOn has everything to become
the equivalent of a worldwide cable TV network for the internet across all
devices, something that could bring major disruption in the TV industry,' Angel
Leon, FrostWire Team.
Jim West, chairman of the NRB (National Religious Broadcasters Association) and
co-chair of the Advanced Television Broadcast Alliance, says: 'Currently, The
WalkTV and their affiliates are pleased to partner with FilmOn who have taken
'over-the-top' TV to a whole new level. I can logon to my dashboard at our
branded FilmOn TV sites. From the dashboard we can see the revenue generated
from online ads and subscriptions but not from just our channels but six
hundred others. I can then take the analytics and upsell our original broadcast
property. We could not have better partners than FilmOn.'
In a deeper dive into the technology, developers can use the FilmOn application
programming interface (API) to develop their own applications, taking advantage
of FilmOn's global video ad network and content offering. Additionally, social
television such as Cavecast and BattleCam social webcam apps and services are
integrated into the affiliate network to maximize viral networking and sharing
power.
FilmOn licenses its content from many premium providers in the USA, Europe and
elsewhere in the world. FilmOn geo-filters its distribution markets according
to its agreements with content providers and that of its affiliate partners.
FilmOn is currently expanding into Asia, where FilmOn has partnered exclusively
with Lenovo/IBM, the Chinese-owned PC maker as Lenovo's exclusive IPTV
provider. Lenovo is the world's number one computer manufacturer with over 18%
of the PC global market share.
