KORTV, Inc. is a software-based streaming media company specializing in distributing South Korean movie, television, and premium channel content to audiences in more than 100 countries using both video on demand (VOD) and real-time streaming.[1][2]
History
[edit]KORTV was incorporated in Edison, New Jersey as WKNTV, Inc in 2012. WKNTV began streaming content via IPTV to Netgear NeoTV and Roku devices.[1]
On August 2, 2013, the company filed for the trademark 'KORTV', which was registered on March 11, 2013.[3] On December 11, KORTV became available on Apple TV, iPad, and iPhone devices.[4][5]
Programming
[edit]KORTV's Live IPTV channels are streamed in real-time, 24 hours a day, directly from the broadcaster and in high definition quality when available. KORTV's current Live IPTV line-up features 10 channels that are free and available for unlimited streaming—including Arirang, EBS, and JTBC. KORTV is the first company to ever offer free and legal real-time live-streaming of broadcast programming worldwide.[1] KORTV's Live IPTV Premium line-up includes 7 premium channels available individually by monthly subscription. Additional television content, including archives of current and past shows, is available via video on demand (VOD), also by monthly subscription.[6]
KORTV's available movie content includes many titles with English-language subtitles, offering potential to expand the company's market beyond Korean-speaking audiences. As with the VOD television content and the Live IPTV premium channel options, a monthly subscription is required to access KORTV's movie content.
