Designed to consolidate workflows, increase efficiency, and lower costs of distributing premium titles across content owners’ direct-to-consumer sites/apps and distribution partners including MVPDs, vMVPDs, FAST Aggregators, and social media platforms

Provides a single ingest point for premium video titles and files combined with managed global delivery, distribution, and monetization across broadcast and streaming viewing experiences

Comcast Media360, which encompasses CTS’ Cloud Video Platform, Comcast MediaExpress, and Comcast MediaOrigination, will be showcased at the NAB Show 2025

DENVER, April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In advance of the NAB Show 2025, Comcast Technology Solutions (CTS) today announced the launch of Comcast Media360™, a transformative new service designed for broadcasters and content owners to consolidate their video management efforts, increase efficiency, and lower costs across legacy TV, online video/OTT, and social media platforms.

In recent decades, broadcast operations have become increasingly complex with silos of internal and external systems, workflows, and vendors all needed to reach today’s viewing audiences. New back-end systems were continuously bolted onto legacy systems, creating massive complexity, duplicative efforts and increased costs. At the same time, companies are trying to address new growth opportunities globally through syndication, bundling, ad-subsidy models, D2C, social media, and AI. Comcast Media360 was designed to simplify and address these opportunities, with a 24/7 managed service backed by the proven reliability and scale of Comcast Technology Solutions.

By providing a single point of ingest for any video title, and its associated files, Comcast Media360 enables broadcasters and content owners to streamline content processing, title management, channel origination, playout, and delivery for their direct-to-consumer branded properties/apps and distribution partners, including MVPDs, vMVPDs, FAST aggregators, and social media. Comcast Media360 is the new umbrella service which encompasses three core offerings, CTS’ Cloud Video Platform, Comcast MediaExpress, and Comcast MediaOrigination, which can be combined or used separately based on the unique needs of each broadcaster or content owner.

“Broadcasters and content owners around the globe recognize the need to make their video operations less duplicative and more cost-efficient, but so many remain trapped by the complexity of their legacy back-end systems,” said Bart Spriester, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Streaming, Broadcast, & Advertising for Comcast Technology Solutions. “Comcast Media360 is designed to help them finally break free from the complexity of the past, lower costs, unify broadcast and streaming, streamline workflows, and expand distribution globally. Backed by the proven quality and scale of Comcast Technology Solutions, our customers can now centralize their technical efforts, freeing them to focus their precious time and resources on viewer engagement and profitability.”

“Efforts to effectively streamline broadcast and streaming operations have been a holy grail for broadcasters and content owners for some time,” said Maria Rua Aguete, Senior Research Director, Media and Entertainment and Technology Fellow at Omdia. “Now, however, it’s becoming an economic necessity. Media companies must adopt a consumer-first strategy that is equally effective at reaching viewers across online video and traditional TV, via social, mobile, and home entertainment devices. Solutions like Comcast Media360 are designed to offload the technical complexity for broadcasters and content owners, so they can focus on viewer monetization, however and wherever it is occurring.”
