State of Streaming Adds OUTtv Profile

State of Streaming is a publisher page that aggregates recent articles and resources about streaming, CTV/OTT, and adjacent ad‑tech topics. The page lists multiple article headlines covering brand safety, contextual targeting, household identity, streaming milestones (e.g., Roku passing 100 million households), shoppable TV, and platform infrastructure (e.g., Netflix on Amazon infrastructure). It also includes a directory/company profile entry for OUTtv: a niche LGBTQ+ streaming app headquartered in Amsterdam, founded in 2016. The page links to the publisher's articles, podcast, directory and other resources and functions as an index of industry coverage rather than a single news story.

OUTtv: FAST's Future Tied to SVOD Integrations

OUTtv, a Canada-based LGBTQ+ broadcaster, evolved from traditional linear channels to SVOD starting in 2016, with SVOD now representing about 75% of its total revenues. The rise of FAST has opened a new distribution path that mirrors OUTtv’s cable roots, offering opportunities to reuse existing premium SVOD content. OUTtv says FAST can complement SVOD but faces challenges such as lengthy distribution contracts and difficulties in securing affordable licensed content and compelling mix. The company partnered with FUSE Media for its FAST launch in the US due to existing platform contracts. Advertising on FAST remains a hurdle, requiring large-scale viewership (hundreds of thousands to millions of minutes per month) to achieve meaningful CPMs and workable sales structures. Danks believes the future lies in integrating FAST with SVOD to create a business model that benefits both consumers and content providers, using FAST to promote SVOD and drive cross-sell opportunities.
