Flixon Media to sell the newly launched Flixon.tv streaming app TV Service through Small Internet Service Providers in the United States

Your local internet provider may soon be offering you a cable TV bundle from Flixon.tv — which markets its newly launched OTT service as a “cable alternative.”

 The Internet & Television Association recently reported that around 21 million homes used an Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast or Roku for an average of almost 15 days a month in 2017. Over 460 million IP devices in the market today can support one or more pay TV apps. Over 168 million U.S. consumers watched streaming video via a connected TV device in 2017.

Regarding OTT (Over-The-Top) services there is a boom in people switching to online live tv services. The present scenario gives the over-the-top video providers a treasure trove of opportunities to explore. Indeed, in 2017 the number of viewing hours on OTT video content is close to 13 billion, when at the end of 2016, less than half was reached. The main consumers of these services are the United States, which alone accounts for 58% of these views.

 Flixon Media is now giving small ISP’s and Wireless Internet Service Providers an opportunity to be part of this who will be able to offer the internet-delivered Flixon.tv service.

 Lee Singleton, head of business development said; “Strategic alliances are swiftly altering the video media landscape. In order to capture the greatest market share, many internet service providers are looking at forming business alliances with OTT video providers and collaborating to have joint offerings to cater to the needs of the constantly evolving customer base.”

 Flixon.tv have recently partnered up with MI Internet Company, West PA Internet Services and Locality Networks to make the streaming television service available to their customers.

 Nick Visser from MI Internet Company said; “We have been looking for ways to offer more video choice to our customers and the Flixon.tv service from Flixon Media allows us to do that.”

 Elaine Bailey from WestPAnet, Inc said; “Our company fully understands the importance of pursuing new opportunities for the distribution of content, and we are excited to promote this brand.”

 Will Burge from Locality Networks said; “We used to have to sit at home, gather in front of the TV and wait patiently for our favorite shows to come on. Fast forward to today and we’re having new and exciting TV experiences but without being tethered to the traditional TV. Our partnership with Flixon.tv allows our customers to watch what they want, wherever they are, on the schedule they choose.”

 Sandra Scott, head of marketing for Flixon.tv said; “Today, we live in a highly competitive video marketplace where entertainment is no longer confined to the living room TV. Flixon.tv provides access to live programming that can stream directly to a set top box, tablet or smartphone.” About Flixon Media

Newly launched OTT operator Flixon.tv has added the premium pay TV channel Lollykids TV to their standard basic package. Flixon.tv entered the video streaming market in the U.S this year direct to consumer, however what is unique about Flixon.tv is their B2B offering which allows a white-label operator to fully utilize their platform, software, and network in order to distribute their own OTT service without the need for complex, proprietary, or expensive hardware and software. Flixon is able to support large and small operators and is already working with some small sized ISP’s, who will be able to offer the internet-delivered Flixon.tv service.

Newly launched video streaming service Flixon.tv adds Flixon Cinema to their OTT applications

Flixon Cinema contains movies, documentaries, comedies, sci-fi, dramas and TV shows packaged in over 250 hours of content which is refreshed monthly through its partnership with FilmHub.com. The content is provided as part of its standard basic offering at no extra cost for all Flixon customers to enjoy. Flixon is in extensive talks with other marketplaces and studios to further develop the Flixon Cinema module within its applications. Filmhub is based in Santa Monica, CA. The company is committed to being the first marketplace for any filmmaker or content owner to have easy access to cloud video streaming services worldwide in any format, language and territory. Filmhub charges no upfront fees to filmmakers. They also provide a suite of services and tools to digitally manage title catalogs of any size. Adam Telanoff, COO from Filmhub said; “Filmhub is excited to work with Flixon. Their model is terrific for enabling consumers to get exposure to a wide range of indie films." Video-on-demand (VOD) is becoming a huge part of daily viewing habits for many. Among those who watch any type of VOD programming, 43% say they watch at least once a day and 43% of all weekly viewing time is from on-demand Video, watching TV series, movies, and other programs which has increased 50% since 2010, the analysis found. Today, the growth of VOD programming options where viewers can download or stream content from either a traditional TV package or an online source is creating extensive opportunities for consumers who have greater control than ever before over what they watch, when they watch and how they watch. And the number of self-reported VOD viewers is significant. Nearly two-thirds of global respondents (65%) in a Nielsen online survey in 61 countries say they watch some form of VOD programming, which includes long- and short form content. Not surprisingly, convenience is a very important factor in the decision to watch VOD programming. Among those who watch VOD, more than three-quarters of global respondents (77%) somewhat or strongly agree they do so because they can view content at a time that is convenient for them. Two things were never truer than they are today: Content will always be king, and consumers will continue to demand greater control and customization of the viewing experience. Flixon.tv offers its network line-up through its video streaming device with no contracts and low subscription pricing. It is a brand new OTT service that offers an extensive choice of top channels, the latest dramas, comedies, movies, sports, live events, music and documentaries to viewers with no annual contracts, and no need for installation. Flixon.tv is available on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, Android TV, IOS and Android. Flixon.tv has formed a partnership with Filmhub who are supplying over 250 hours of movies and series content which is refreshed every month to keep the content updated and never getting old or stale.

Verizon's Go90 video app has been shut down

Just three years ago, Verizon launched its mobile video service Go90 in the hopes of capturing a younger demographic that had ditched conventional TV in favor of watching videos on their phones. Verizon invested almost as $200 million earlier to create Go90 work. However a couple of days ago, Go90 formally shut down as the service didn't gain traction with the general public.

Go90 offered a combination of original short-form videos within the vein of web series, sports, and licensed programming from official networks, all at no cost. The goal was to subsidize the app with expensive advertising, with the hope that marketers would be desperate to reach that profitable Snapchat-loving demographic.

In 2016, Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam admitted that the Go90 platform “did get a little bit overhyped.” Digiday reports Verizon spent more than $1.2 billion on the project.

According to Variety, the Go90 team and its operations are rolled into Oath, the new multimedia unit borne from the mixture of AOL and Yahoo that Verizon obtained once it acquired Yahoo’s core web assets. “Verizon will focus on building its digital-first brands at scale in sports, finance, news, and entertainment for today’s mobile consumers and tomorrow’s 5G applications,” a Verizon exponent told Variety in a statement.

Why Sling TV, DirecTV Now, YouTube TV, PlayStation Vue are All Raising Prices?

Over the most recent couple of months YouTube TV, Sling TV, DIRECTV NOW, and PlayStation Vue have all raised their prices.

YouTube TV in March raised its prices by $5 per month. It’s now $40 per month, which is more in line with competitors like Hulu ($40/mo) and DirecTV Now ($40/mo).

SlingTV raised the base price of its core package(Sling Orange) having around 30 channels which contain networks like Disney and ESPN by $5 per month, to now $25 per month. While the combination of Orange and Blue can be obtained for $40, which matches the new cost of DirecTV Now’s basic deal.

AT&T announced a $5 price increase to its DirecTV Now service, following price hikes from rivals Sling TV and YouTube TV, price changes go into effect July 26th for new customers and will vary for current customers depending on their next billing date, bringing basic service to $40 a month and the premium package with all the works to $75 a month.

Sony also raises the monthly cost of its over-the-top, pay-TV service PlayStation Vue by $5 for all four tiers of customers. The price increase will go into effect on July 24th for new customers. Current subscribers won’t see the change until the first billing cycle after July 31st. PlayStation Vue’s cheapest plan, called Access, will now cost $44.99, instead of $39.99 a month, while its most expensive Ultra package will now cost $84.99. Sony removed its cheapest Slim package last July.

The number $40 appears to be the sweet spot that over-the-top platforms are charging.

The reason behind this price surge according to the sources is simple, the networks are charging more for their content.

To understand the price hikes you have to look at how TV contracts work.

When a service like Sling TV, DIRECTV NOW, YouTube TV, and PlayStation Vue strike a deal with a provider it typically has built-in price hikes. This means the first year of a deal is at a lower rate than year number three. The automatic price hikes may not be the only reason. With YouTube TV, for example, it was reported that to add more networks like Cartoon Network and TNT to its offering they had to raise the price or lose money. Yet for others like Sling TV who kept their price the same for over three years at some point, the automatic price hikes just caught up to them.

Sony does not give a concrete explanation for the price increase, other than to attribute it to “rising business costs.” It is very likely that Sony, like other pay-TV providers, is facing increased financial pressure from rights holders, which may be raising the licensing costs to live content and other lucrative forms of entertainment that keep customers subscribing to services like Vue.

The news comes a few weeks after AT&T fully acquired Time Warner for $85 billion, a deal that took a significant sum out of the carrier’s coffers. Now the company’s moves to raise admin fees and DirecTV Now prices all seem to be ways for it to get back in the black.

It seems just like back in the cable TV days, your monthly bill will simply increase.

Pricing is an influential differentiating factor between competing services, and even small price increases may have a big impact on subscriber numbers and a new customer’s willingness to choose an alternative service.
