Glewed TV

What Glewed TV does

Glewed TV is a Free Ad-Supported Streaming Television (FAST) platform that aggregates and distributes more than 30,000 hours of original and licensed video programming across connected TVs, streaming devices, and mobile platforms, with no subscription fees to end viewers. The platform curates content across verticals including sports, food, kids, DIY, lifestyle, documentaries, music, comedy, and movies — mixing owned and co-produced originals (e.g., 'Reversed: The Race for Longevity,' 'iHollywoodTV: The TV Show,' 'The McNamaras') with licensed channel brands (FITE 24/7, Gusto TV, Teton Gravity Research, AXS TV Now, AWE Encore, EstrellaMedia, Trace, World Poker Tour, TNA Wrestling, 5-Minute Crafts). Distribution is delivered via native apps on Samsung and VIZIO Smart TVs, marketplaces on Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, Chromecast, and Android TV, mobile apps on iOS and Android, and reseller placement on The Roku Channel, Crackle (Homeschool Channel), XUMO, and BINGE Network.

Under the hood, Glewed TV operates as an OTT/CTV content aggregation and monetization layer rather than a vertically integrated content producer. Its core technology combines VOD discovery, live linear channel distribution, and ad management, with personalization reportedly powered by LiveRamp for audience targeting. The advertising inventory spans both programmatic and direct-sold placements, with named advertiser relationships including The Home Depot, Expedia, Papa John's, and Subway suggesting branded content sponsorships on top of standard ad breaks.

Commercially, Glewed TV operates a pure AVOD model — free to viewers, monetized entirely through advertising — and pursues a product-led growth motion optimized for cord-cutters, families, and sports/diy/lifestyle enthusiasts across more than two dozen categories. Marketing is concentrated in organic social, press releases, and app-store presence, with leadership drawn from a small executive team (CEO V. Paul Coyne, C-listed CRO Andrew Budkofsky, and CMOs Melody Wolff and Dean Marco). The company is privately held, reports no external funding, and operates with a 1-10 employee team from a Newark, Delaware headquarters.
