wedotv on the growth of FAST, innovating distribution strategies and harnessing opportunity | Inside Content

On this episode of Inside Content, CEO of 3Vision,Toby Russell, is joined by Philipp Rotermund, CEO of wedotv.

Although AVOD still contributes to between 80 and 90% of wedotv’s revenue, Philipp takes us through the key opportunity that FAST is playing in their growth as a business in their major markets and territories in Europe.

With the growth of FAST, distribution opportunities are becoming more challenging and selective, but unlike many other FAST vendors, wedotv are taking an innovative approach to its distribution strategy by utilising cable viewers in Germany. Other than helping them connect their FAST channels with the biggest audience possible, Philipp also explains how this has helped them to monetise their effectively and the role that advertising plays.


Here is a breakdown of the topics discussed in the episode:

  • An overview of wedotv’s FAST channel and AVOD strategy
  • Wedotv’s key markets for growth in Europe
  • The value of opportunity in AVOD and FAST
  • How wedotv are innovating with its FAST distribution strategy by delivering channels to      cable-viewers
  • Key challenges around monetisation of FAST channels, and potential solutions
  • The future of FAST in Europe
  • How Free TV will respond to the growth of FAST

The Best of FAST | Inside Content

The Best of FAST | Inside Content

Free ad-supported television (FAST) is currently one of the most rapidly-growing spaces in the TV and streaming industry. Initially, FAST was seen as an opportunity to monetise lower-value content that had already been exhausted in multiple windows. Now, more and more are realising the potential of FAST as a lucrative revenue stream, as it grows with an increasing amount of high-value branded, and even original content.

In this special episode of Inside Content introduced by our EVP Jack Davison, we take a deep dive into the FAST space and revisit some of the interesting conversations we’ve had with recent guests about what they’re doing with FAST channels and how they are riding the wave.

Toby Russell, CEO of 3Vision speaks with Gary Woolf, EVP of Strategic Development of distributor All3Media about the power of FAST in the content market, single IP channels and FAST channel distribution. Gary details the importance of establishing clarity between windowing opportunities in premium SVOD and FAST, and how to curate content on FAST that differentiates itself and tap into those VOD-first viewers who no longer view linear TV.

We then revisit recent guest Dan Fahy, SVP of Streaming at Paramount UK who speaks to 3Vision Director Hayley Bull about their FAST AVOD service Pluto. Dan describes how Pluto has become the leading FAST service in the US, harnessing the gap in the market created by the absence of free TV in North America, and how they plan to enter the more complex UK market.

Lastly, we look back on 3Vison COO Jonathan Nickell’s conversation with Richard Jakeman European Head of Business Development at Samsung to discuss how to get a FAST channel on their Samsung TV platform and the rising importance of quality technology in accompanying quality content.


Here is a breakdown of the topics discussed in the episode:

  • All3Media on the role of different stakeholders, platforms and gateways in the delivery of FAST channels in the US market
  • All3Media on the smart curation of content for FAST channels
  • All3Media on the opportunity FAST provides to monetising content across multiple windows 
  • Paramount UK on the importance of FAST platform Pluto to their overall business
  • Paramount UK on how they plan to maximise Pluto in the UK market
  • Samsung on how to get a FAST channel on their platform
  • Samsung on their partnership with ITV

Dan discusses how Paramount differentiates itself with its ‘four quadrant offering’ and how they are addressing a broad consumer base with its Sky partnership deal in the UK. Key to their unique approach is the importance they place on the theatrical window. Contrary to the declining value of the theatrical window over the past 5-10 years, Paramount continue to see it as a lucrative financial opportunity, central to its legacy as a business. As well as keeping hold of their traditional business model elements, they are innovating in many new fields. Dan gives us valuable insights into the future of FAST AVOD platform Pluto and how it provides a great opportunity for content owners and advertisers to connect with the hard-to-reach VOD-first households in the UK.
