Truth Social to Launch Streaming Platform
16 April 2024 - 9:24PM
Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:DJT) (“TMTG” or
the “Company”), operator of the social media platform Truth Social,
announced today that after six months of testing on its Web and iOS
platforms, the Company has finished the research and development
phase of its new live TV streaming platform and will begin scaling
up its own content delivery network (“CDN”).
TMTG plans to roll out its streaming content in three
phases:
- Phase 1: Introduce Truth Social’s CDN
for streaming live TV to the Truth Social app for Android, iOS, and
Web.
- Phase 2: Release stand-alone Truth
Social over-the-top (“OTT”) streaming apps for phones, tablets, and
other devices.
- Phase 3: Release Truth Social streaming
apps for home TV.
The streaming content is expected to focus on live TV including
news networks, religious channels, family-friendly content
including films and documentaries; and other content that has been
cancelled, is at risk of cancellation, or is being suppressed on
other platforms and services.
“We’re excited to move forward with the next big phase for Truth
Social,” said TMTG CEO Devin Nunes. “With our streaming content, we
aim to provide a permanent home for high-quality news and
entertainment that face discrimination by other channels and
content delivery services. There is a lot of great content that
simply can’t find an audience for unjust reasons, and we want to
let these creators know they’ll soon have a guaranteed platform
where they won’t be cancelled.”
Much like the Truth Social platform, the Company's CDN is
intended to operate efficiently, cost-effectively and independent
of Big Tech. The network is designed to be user friendly,
incorporating cutting edge technology to optimize speed,
performance, and security for video streaming while minimizing
interruptions. TMTG’s CDN is expected to greatly enhance and expand
Truth Social, an iconic Trump brand whose free-speech mission
resonates deeply with its community of users and supporters.
