ondon, 15 August, 2016 – VIVE Lifestyle Network,

ondon, 15 August, 2016 – VIVE Lifestyle Network, the first linear
ultra high definition OTT television network, is opening its universal
platform to production companies, brands, local broadcasters, and
other content creators by virtue of UHD and HD channels encompassed
within the umbrella of VIVE Lifestyle Network (VLN) and its suite of
branded connected TV and OTT apps.

VLN's Premium Channel Partner Service effectively alleviates the
burdens of how to go about distribution and monetisation, not to
mention the potential financial risks and inevitable development costs
and time consuming processes such as platform contract negotiations.
It is a streamlined, affordable alternative designed for premium
long-form content creators to leverage so that they can concentrate on
doing what they do best and leave the technology, infrastructure,
distribution, promotion, and monetisation to VLN, garnering new
audiences across a multitude of devices.

VLN Premium Channel Partners can expeditiously launch their own
channels across wildly popular OTT devices like Roku, Amazon Fire, and
Apple TV, as well as on Samsung UHD and HD Smart TV's. Although VLN
does offer bespoke white label app development and service bundles,
the premise of creating the Premium Channel Partner Service is to
establish a cohesive destination of comprehensive entertainment on
every screen so viewers can easily discover compelling original series
and films in one convenient place rather than combing through the
fragmented landscape of niche VOD services.

VLN channels shall be presented collectively within its proprietary
EPG inside of each of its apps, respectively, and for the most part
free to watch supported by relevant advertising, thus attracting an
even wider global audience to the network and consequently providing
ample cross promotion and content crossover opportunities. Though the
network shall be largely linear, viewers will also have access to
catch-up service and on-demand programmes.

In addition to its trademark lifestyle and factual entertainment fare,
VLN shall also support low-latency, synchronised 4K and HD live
streaming available with optional geo-targeting and pay-gating. VLN is
also spearheading experiential entertainment enabling e-commerce,
social, lead generation, and incentive driven engagement.

"Pulling together an all-inclusive channel service under one roof was
a real challenge, especially with our UHD and HDR emphases, but we are
really excited to offer fellow production companies and brands the
opportunity to take advantage of our efforts and drastically cut down
on time to market and associated costs," says John Jacaman, Managing
Director of VIVE Lifestyle Network. "The way we look at it is that
it's for the greater common good. Our channel partners benefit, as do
the viewers, and ultimately the network as a whole."

Never before has it been as affordable to launch a TV channel on a
network as prolific and prestigious as VLN. For more information about
