Our long-standing customer, TVNZ, is continuing its partnership with Brightcove to power its enhanced on-demand video service, TVNZ OnDemand. As New Zealand’s largest television broadcaster and a Brightcove customer since 2011, TVNZ has upgraded its service to offer viewers exclusive programs and improved playback across desktop, iOS and Android apps, and Samsung Smart TV devices.
With Brightcove, TVNZ OnDemand now provides a more personalized viewing experience, allowing users to create their own program lists and receive tailored recommendations for additional content they might enjoy.
Since its launch in 2007, TVNZ OnDemand has seen consistent growth, reaching a record 6.3 million streams in October 2014. By the end of 2014, TVNZ reported a more than 50% year-over-year increase in viewership. With the enhanced TVNZ OnDemand service, viewers can continue enjoying their favorite content, including New Zealand’s beloved Shortland Street, The Big Bang Theory, and ONE News. The platform also introduces new exclusive content, such as special episodes of Shortland Street.
TVNZ leverages Brightcove’s advanced transcoding capabilities and built-in digital rights management (DRM) to ensure robust content protection. Additionally, our monetization features and integrations with third-party ad tech providers, such as DoubleClick, enable TVNZ to deliver seamless ad-supported video experiences across all devices.
