Benefits for Local Streaming
Frictionless Digital Expansion
- Expand digital reach:FreeCast's platform allows broadcasters to deliver their content via streaming, reaching viewers on mobile devices, smart TVs, and web browsers, in addition to traditional OTA broadcasts. This allows broadcasters to connect with cord-cutters and mobile-first audiences.
- Cost-effective infrastructure:For smaller broadcasters, developing a proprietary streaming platform is prohibitively expensive. FreeCast's "plug-and-play" solution removes the need for massive capital investment, providing a turn-key way to scale into streaming.
- Monetize content on existing devices:By distributing content on the FreeCast app, broadcasters can generate revenue from any device a viewer uses, including smartphones and tablets. This maximizes the opportunity to earn ad revenue.
- Leverage BEST or ATSC 3.0 technology:The BEST Channels model uses the next-generation broadcast standard or ATSC 3.0 (with a Home Hub or Single MDU server) to integrate advanced features and data-rich content into the streaming experience, creating a modern, seamless viewing experience.
