Studio’s key differentiators:

- A fully-featured broadcast scheduling system
- Access to Frequency’s distribution footprint of over 15m households
Frequency founder and CEO, Blair Harrison, said, “as more viewers get their TV over-the-top, the key to giving them a great content experience is to offer them more choice. Studio was built to connect video creators with distributors as frictionlessly as possible. The rapid growth of free ad-supported TV services (FASTs) is fueled by new channels finding new audiences. Studio is at the center of this. Empowering the next generation of broadcasters.”
Over 100 digital video providers, and many of the world’s leading TV operators use Frequency today to deliver next generation video services to over 15 million viewers. Studio is a shared ecosystem where content creators and distributors collaborate.
