Syncbak, a platform for live local OTT, today announced it has launched a new channel within its SBTV streaming platform specifically dedicated to covering COVID-19.
This new offering aggregates and curates coronavirus news content from local TV broadcasters in more than 115 markets across the U.S., with content refreshed hourly, 24 hours a day.
Although SBTV generally carries advertising, which has been a great ancillary revenue source for the local broadcasters, the newly launched channel will run advertising-free on SBTV, as both Syncbak and the local stations carried on SBTV believe it is important to bring this content to viewers without interruption.
