What Video Solutions does

Video Solutions, doing business as wedotv AG, is a privately held Swiss streaming company headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, operating a global free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST/AVOD) network. The company distributes 20 owned live TV channels and 20,000+ on-demand titles across a portfolio of eight branded channel products — wedotv (the flagship aggregator), wedotv Movies, wedotv Big Stories, wedotv Sports, wedotv Amor (7,000+ hours of Latin American telenovelas), wedotv True Stories (DACH-language true crime and reality), wedotv Cars (automotive), and time2Rlx (4K relaxation). Content is delivered to consumers via free apps on Samsung, LG, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, and iOS, and is additionally distributed through cable/operator partners Comcast and Sunrise and FAST aggregators including HbbTV, Xperi, Ocilion, NetRange, Netgem, and TitanOS. The company states a technical reach of 200 million households across 15+ countries spanning the UK, DACH, Southern Europe, Scandinavia, Benelux, LATAM, USA, and MENA, with regional reach of 130M European, 66M MENA, and 43M German-speaking households.

The business is purely advertising-funded — there is no subscription tier — operating on a freemium/AVOD model with monthly billing cadence and no consumer fees. The customer base is two-sided: 28 million reported monthly viewers on the consumer side, and unnamed advertising partners on the demand side. Distribution is concentrated through a small set of global OEMs and aggregators rather than direct sales. The company is operationally lean, with a reported 1-10 employees and approximately $1.1M in cumulative disclosed funding across two rounds in 2018 and 2019; investors are undisclosed and revenue is not publicly reported. Philipp Rotermund serves as CEO, and the legal entity is the Swiss Aktiengesellschaft wedotv AG.

The strategic posture is that of a capital-efficient FAST operator seeking global reach through platform partnerships rather than direct consumer marketing, with content portfolio breadth (multiple genre verticals, multiple languages, 4K capability) and OEM/operator distribution as the primary competitive axes. The data set provides no visibility into capital structure beyond the early rounds, no management depth beyond the CEO, and no disclosed revenue, gross margin, or advertiser concentration.

Direct peers

• DistroTV: Independently operated FAST platform with 150+ free ad-supported channels spanning entertainment, sports, news, and lifestyle genres. Comparable to wedotv on AVOD model, multi-channel FAST portfolio, and smart-TV/streaming-device distribution.
• Pluto TV: Paramount-owned free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) service with hundreds of linear channels and on-demand movies/series. Directly comparable to wedotv on AVOD model, FAST-channel portfolio, multi-OEM distribution, and global rollout — though at significantly larger scale and with deeper content rights.
• Tubi: Fox-owned free ad-supported streaming service offering movies, TV series, and FAST channels across major CTV and mobile platforms. Comparable to wedotv on AVOD monetization, FAST channel lineup, and smart-TV/streaming-device distribution strategy.
• Xumo Play: Independent FAST streaming service offering 350+ free ad-supported linear channels and on-demand content across CTV, mobile, and web. Comparable to wedotv on AVOD monetization, FAST-channel portfolio, and multi-OEM distribution strategy.
• Samsung TV Plus: Samsung's pre-installed free ad-supported streaming service on Samsung smart TVs offering FAST channels globally. Directly comparable to wedotv's OEM-embedded FAST model and one of the same OEMs through which wedotv distributes, making it both a partner and direct competitor for audience and ad dollars.
• The Roku Channel: Roku-operated free ad-supported streaming service featuring movies, series, and 350+ live FAST channels, tightly integrated into Roku devices and available on the web and other platforms. Comparable on AVOD model, FAST-channel portfolio, and CTV distribution focus.
• LG Channels: LG's built-in free ad-supported streaming service on LG smart TVs (and webOS devices), offering 350+ FAST channels. Direct FAST competitor to wedotv with the same OEM-embedded distribution strategy — and another partner/competitor overlap given wedotv's LG pre-installation partnership.

Broad incumbents

• Amazon Freevee (now Prime Video Free): Amazon's ad-supported free streaming tier featuring movies, series, and live FAST channels, embedded into Fire TV and Prime Video. Comparable on AVOD/FAST model and Fire TV distribution overlap with wedotv, but with Amazon's broader commerce and Prime ecosystem behind it.

Regional players

• Joyn: ProSiebenSat.1/Discovery-operated free AVOD streaming service in Germany offering live TV channels, on-demand content, and FAST channels, with strong DACH focus. Comparable to wedotv on AVOD/FAST model and DACH-region localization, but primarily competing in German-speaking markets.
• Rakuten TV: European free ad-supported streaming service operated by Rakuten, available on smart TVs and streaming devices across Europe. Comparable to wedotv on AVOD/FAST model and multi-territory European distribution, with overlap in DACH, Italy, and Benelux.
