Smithsonian Channel Plus

As the television industry moved increasingly toward cord-cutting, the time was right for Smithsonian Channel to expand its reach through an “over-the-top” streaming version of the network.

After a multi-year digital product partnership, they selected Potion to build this next generation of their consumer-facing channel across 9 set-top and mobile platforms.

Overview

  • A universal over-the-top streaming network across 9 platforms

Smithsonian Channel Plus digital streaming service is a model of the next generation television experience.  Offering the complete Smithsonian Channel catalogue, the entirely 4k content of the former Smithsonian Earth app, and regular injections of new content once it airs, it’s not only a comprehensive content platform, but a personalized one as well.  By logging in, subscribers can access content where they left, save watchlists, see graphics of progress on watched items and more.

For the network, the Smithsonian Channel Plus provides substantially greater two way communication infrastructure with viewers to feature targeted content, push new initiatives, and substantial analytics to help improve content decisions.  And with support on Android, Amazon, Roku, Samsung Tizen, and the Apple family of products, it’s a next gen television product for the next generation of media hardware.
