The ECO Channel

What The ECO Channel does

The ECO Channel is a Miami-based digital streaming platform, founded in 2021, that positions itself as the first Green TV Channel in the United States. It operates a 24/7 continuous streaming network feed delivering sustainability-focused news, entertainment, and education content, distributed through a self-owned web portal plus Roku TV and Amazon Fire TV apps. Programming is segmented into content categories including ECO Business, ECO Food, and ECO Realty, and the company also produces live event coverage and documentary-style programming around environmental initiatives. The flagship commercial initiative is Earth Week Miami, a week-long annual sustainability event scheduled for April 22-26, 2026 across South Florida locations including Miami Beach and Dania Beach, featuring panels, exhibitions, beach cleanups, diving activations, and cultural programming under the theme "One Week. One Planet. One Movement."

The ECO Channel's business model is sponsor- and event-driven rather than subscription-driven. The streaming service is offered on an explicitly freemium basis ("It's free"), with no publicly disclosed paid tiers. Monetization relies on Earth Week Miami sponsorships and exhibitor packages, strategic content partnerships (including eco-conscious storytelling collaborations such as The Adventures of Bibi & Friends with Brigitte Andrade), and international broadcast distribution through HubCast Media, France TV Monde, and SEM Radio, which extend programming to approximately 30 countries. Named government and corporate sponsors of Earth Week Miami 2026 include Broward County and Marriott Hotel & Resorts, while featured content partners include REEFLINE (marine conservation), the Global Family Office Investment Summit, and Miami Swim Week sustainable fashion programming.

The company targets four primary customer segments: sustainability leaders and green businesses seeking visibility; eco-conscious consumers seeking sustainability-focused content; impact investors and climate-focused funders seeking deal flow; and eco-content creators and correspondents seeking a platform. Featured subject brands span hospitality (Casa Tua Cucina, Strong Water), real estate (Baccarat Residences Miami, Fortune International Group), food innovation (GoGradables), and environmental activism (Merle Liivand). The team is small (1-10 employees), privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or institutional investors, and operates with a contact phone area code (267) suggesting some operational ties to the Philadelphia region in addition to its Miami headquarters.
