CAST News & Events

FreeCast announced the expansion of its DIRECTV relationship, enabling DIRECTV services to be offered across both FreeCast's direct-to-consumer residential initiatives and its growing ecosystem of PaaS partners. The expanded relationship builds upon FreeCast's existing authorization to market and sell DIRECTV services across residential and multifamily communities and extends those capabilities throughout the company's broader platform strategy serving telecommunications providers, broadband operators, wireless carriers, property owners, hospitality organizations, municipalities, broadcasters, membership organizations, and enterprise partners. As part of the initiative, eligible FreeCast partners may integrate DIRECTV offerings into branded streaming, broadband, wireless, community, hospitality, and residential solutions powered by FreeCast's Platform-as-a-Service technology stack. The company believes this capability strengthens the value proposition available to partners while providing consumers with greater choice through a unified entertainment experience.

FreeCast has signed agreements involving subsidiaries of Via One, including Assist Wireless and enTouch Wireless, to utilize FreeCast's Platform-as-a-Service ecosystem for aggregated streaming media services and consumer entertainment distribution. Via One Technologies, Assist Wireless, and enTouch Wireless collectively serve more than 385,000 mobile wireless customers through Lifeline, prepaid, and mobile service distribution channels across multiple U.S. markets. Assist and enTouch Wireless will now have their own branded video service for their customers powered by FreeCast. Under the renewed relationship, the Via One-affiliated wireless platforms will leverage FreeCast's streaming aggregation infrastructure, content management systems, consumer viewing interfaces, and monetization technologies designed to support branded streaming experiences across mobile devices and connected televisions. FreeCast's PaaS platform integrates content aggregation, FAST channel distribution, subscription management, advertising technologies, and consumer engagement tools into a unified operating environment.
