LAS VEGAS, April 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- As FreeCast
continues building consumer-centric TV experiences, the company is
announcing plans to fulfill an age-old consumer wish: à la carte
TV. Taking advantage of the audience provided by the National
Association of Broadcasters' Show in Las
Vegas, FreeCast revealed intentions to allow subscribers of
SelectTV to "pick and pay" for individual channels.
FreeCast CEO William Mobley
explained the move. "FreeCast has always been à la carte TV, more
than three years now we've been preaching it. Currently, our
subscribers build their own personal TV packages to match their
tastes and budgets, starting with a robust selection of content for
$3 a month, plus whatever streaming
services, skinny bundles, or pay-per-view content they want on top
of that. But the calls for à la carte continue; not every consumer
wants to manage all these standalone services. So we're working
with the networks to make what consumers want a reality: pick and
pay for your favorite cable channels, and get it all on one monthly
bill."
Mobley and other FreeCast executives arrived in Las Vegas with an equally compelling offer for
the major TV networks at the NAB Show: a turnkey mechanism OTT
distribution. By utilizing the company's Cloud Entertainment
Platform, those channel providers can bypass investment in costly
infrastructure, development, and marketing of their own consumer
packages to offset declining cable revenues. In fact, FreeCast
expects that most channels can be offered à la carte for three to
five times their current local cable and satellite retrans
fees.
FreeCast's Cloud Entertainment Platform manages over 2 million
pieces of content globally, and facilitates consumer access to free
and ad supported streaming content, premium VOD services,
pay-per-view shows and movies, and virtual pay-TV "skinny bundles"
through SelectTV. These services will be joined, not replaced, by à
la carte television channels in the company's SmartGuide. With this
addition, SelectTV continues to deliver unlimited entertainment
choices to consumers on all of their devices.
