Trump Media & Technology Group Announces Successful Launch of TV Streaming on iOS Devices
07 August 2024 - 10:30PM
Trump Media & Technology Group (Nasdaq: DJT) (“TMTG” or the
“Company”), operator of the social media platform Truth Social,
announced today that it has successfully launched linear TV
streaming on iOS devices.
In order to access TV streaming, iOS users will need to update
the Truth Social app through the Apple App Store unless their
devices are set to automatically download updates. Then, users can
access TV streaming on the Truth Social app by clicking on a Truth+
streaming icon shaped like a TV. Users can view streaming content
as stand-alone channels or in a separate picture-in-picture (“PiP”)
window while scrolling on the Truth Social platform.
The launch is powered by TMTG’s new, custom-built content
delivery network (“CDN”).
“We’ve hit a big milestone in our TV streaming rollout, with the
service now available across the entire Truth Social platform—iOS,
Android, and the Web,” said TMTG CEO Devin Nunes. “Our
uncancellable CDN is delivering high-quality TV streaming to all
Truth Social users. As we continue to test the service, we look
forward to rolling out new Truth+ apps for over-the-top streaming
to mobile devices and TVs.”
The launch of streaming on iOS devices is part of TMTG’s phased
rollout of its streaming platform, Truth+. The Company next plans
to introduce streaming apps integrated with the Truth Social
platform that will offer cutting-edge features including an
interactive 14-day electronic guide, instant catch-up TV on any
show broadcast in the previous 7 days, network DVR, video on
demand, subscription video on demand, a marketplace, and more.
TMTG also plans to unveil apps that allow users to watch
streaming content on in-home TV sets and to introduce new
advertising capabilities.
TMTG plans to expand its streaming options as the rollout
continues, focusing on news, Christian content, and family friendly
programming.
TMTG anticipates that, as the rollout progresses, it will
continue stress and beta testing the streaming technology while
collecting input from users—and announce when testing is finished
and the rollout is complete.
As part of its strategy, TMTG is continuing to work toward
closing the previously-announced perpetual licensing deal for CDN
technology.
TMTG’s ultra-fast streaming technology is powered through
specially designed infrastructure with its own servers, routers,
and software stack. Thus, TMTG expects to gain full control over
its tech delivery stack for streaming across private network CDN,
consistent with the goal of rendering the service uncancellable by
Big Tech.
