The Wurl TV Network Multi-Channel Streaming Video programming on Pay TV 1

The Wurl TV Network: the world’s first multi-channel streaming cable network. Problem Compared to popular streaming apps (Netflix, Hulu, etc.), cable channels offer too little choice. Cable networks’ direct-to-consumer apps deliver high viewer engagement, but very little “reach”. Opportunity - Make any TV channel a “Streaming Channel”. Combine pay TV’s enormous reach and effortless discovery with the high engagement of on-demand streaming apps. Leverage the streaming capabilities of millions of Internet-connected STBs now deployed by operators. New programming – online studios with millions of loyal viewers are expanding to TV distribution with Streaming Channels. Low COGs. Streaming Channels are broadband delivered – no QAM resources (and no affiliate fees). 2

Pay TV operators are rapidly replacing legacy set-top boxes with Internet-connected set-tops – “iSTBs”. Today, +55 million Internet- connected STBs deployed by operators enable new programming from streaming services.
