Sunn Stream Partners with Brightcove for Family-Friendly Streaming Service

Brightcove, the world’s most trusted streaming technology company, today announced it has added Sunn Stream – a streaming service offering family-friendly movies, music and educational content – to its roster of media customers. Sunn Stream will rely on Brightcove’s two-time Emmy-award-winning platform to distribute its content to audiences nationwide.

Sunn Stream, currently in soft launch, is a streaming service that provides subscribers with personalized, family-friendly content, including movies, music, episodic shows, and educational videos on various topics. Using Brightcove’s reliable and scalable video technology, Sunn Stream will provide its audience with a seamless, curated, user-friendly experience across all devices.

“The streaming industry has clearly become more competitive, with providers striving to capture the attention and loyalty of more discerning audiences,” said Brightcove CEO Marc DeBevoise. “With this evolution, Sunn Stream has realized that it is essential to combine its unique content proposition targeted at a clearly-defined audience with the highest-quality video streaming and an intuitive, personalized user experience. Using our market-leading technology platform, Sunn Stream will be at the forefront of providing their customers with reliable, customized entertainment options, and will have access to best-in-class analytics to track performance.”

The popularity of independent media companies has continued to surge.

Sunn Stream tapped Brightcove’s industry-leading video-cloud streaming platform for its unique advantages, including unparalleled video quality, global scalability, unmatched customer support, and robust analytics.

“We’ve completely updated our Sunn Stream streaming service and app to make them easier to use so more customers can enjoy our films and shows,” said Sunn Stream Founder and President Garrett Z. Sutton. “Our curators will now handpick unexpected recommendations that our customers will love. And we’re more focused on creating an experience for the whole family that brings people together with laughter, tears, and thought-provoking moments.”

Sunn Stream joins a roster of media companies that rely on Brightcove to power their streaming capabilities, including FrightPix, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Acun Medya, AMC Networks, BBC Studios, Canela Media, J.COM, MotoAmerica, REELZ, SBT TV, and SKY Mexico.
