Brightcove Beacon allows Revry to provide
unprecedented access to LGBTQ content to better serve the queer
community
Brightcove Inc. (NASDAQ: BCOV), the world’s leading video
technology platform, announces that Revry, the first global LGBTQ
streaming network, is now powered by Brightcove Beacon™. Revry is
using Brightcove Beacon to deliver upon consumers’ shifting viewing
preferences – which includes access to more live TV content. Amid
widespread cancellations of major Pride events and LGBTQ film
festivals due to COVID-19, the new service provides an
unprecedented option for those in need of community during this
pandemic: a free, truly “always on” TV experience made exclusively
for LGBTQ people.

Brightcove Beacon’s innovative streaming experience allows Revry
to curate to its audiences in real-time through multiple live TV
channels, resulting in a reliable and personalized TV experience –
a feature that is particularly important to Revry’s cause-driven
core audience. “Accessibility has always been our mission at Revry
given that access to this content literally saves lives,” said
Damian Pelliccione, CEO and Co-Founder, Revry. “When we first were
introduced to the Brightcove Beacon technology, we saw the
opportunity to create the platform of our dreams: free, live, and
able to showcase multiple viewpoints and stories from our
community. With this tech, Brightcove has enabled Revry to become a
niche-focused version of Pluto or XUMO, but made specifically for
the queer community.”
With over one thousand hours of movies, shows, news, music, and
podcasts, Revry offers unapologetically queer content through its
“tribrid” distribution model that provides multiple ways audiences
can view and engage. Users can watch content completely free with
ads, without ads with a subscription, and now with Brightcove
Beacon, audiences can watch four new live TV channels: Revry Live
TV, Revry 2, Revry 3 and Revry Now (the first 24/7 LGBTQ global
news channel).
“The OTT market is exploding and we’re excited to bring Revry
aboard as they continue to make a profound impact on the LGBTQ
community,” said Rick Hanson, Chief Revenue Officer, Brightcove.
“Video is a powerful way to communicate, especially in today’s
virtual world, so we’re excited that Brightcove Beacon gives Revry
the opportunity to engage more authentically with their audience
through a best-in-class viewing experience.”
“Creating a ‘radically inclusive’ global platform has always
been our in our DNA given the diverse makeup of Revry’s women-led,
majority queer, veteran, and POC founding team,” said Alia J.
Daniels, COO and Co-Founder, Revry. “One of the best things about
the new apps is that we're not locked in to only showcasing one
point of view at a time – however you identify within the
community, chances are you'll always see yourself reflected back on
one of our live channels.”
