Everything you need to run a modern streaming operation: station-branded apps across ten OTT, smart TV, mobile and web platforms, a collaborative CMS with unlimited users, first-party data and Tableau dashboards, and onboarding, staff training and launch support. Every station gets the same service. Only the price varies with station size.
On a sliding scale based on station size, measured by the number of Passport-eligible members at the time of signing. There are three tiers: fewer than 15,000 members, 15,000 to 40,000, and more than 40,000.
Annual subscriptions run for a one-year term, with optional renewal. The one-time onboarding fee covers launch across all platforms.
Pricing may increase for new clients in FY27 (July 1, 2026-June 30, 2027). After that, any price increase is capped at 3%. Existing clients are guaranteed no rate increase for three years.
Stations that complete a one-year subscription are eligible for a cost-free license to use and modify their station's app code in perpetuity. You could bring your own CMS and stream on without us. We would not recommend it, because the collaborative back end is the part that makes this work, but the option is yours.
It varies from station to station. The system is built for complete local curatorial control with a low admin lift, and every station gets unlimited users.
First-party data delivered near real-time to your own data platform by API or Snowflake transfer, Google Analytics through your station's account with a starter pack of views, and Tableau dashboards covering watch history and benchmarking against other stations.
