College Health TV

What College Health TV does

College Health TV operates a free, ad-supported streaming video service delivering evidence-based health and wellness content to U.S. college students. The company distributes content through two channels: a direct-to-consumer streaming platform accessible via web, mobile, tablets, smart TVs, and Roku, and a B2B2C distribution model in which the company ships free digital signage players to colleges and universities that automatically stream health education videos onto campus displays. The content library covers topics including mental health, nutrition, fitness, sexual health, stress management, and substance abuse, with the Peer Health Educators Program providing student-narrated video to improve authenticity and relevance for the target audience.

The business is structured as College Health TV LLC, a privately held North Carolina limited liability company headquartered in Durham, NC. Revenue is generated through three streams: advertising between videos (with category exclusions on tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, gambling, and adult content), sponsored content integration, and affiliate program commissions. The platform includes operational features for institutional customers, including centralized video delivery and custom programming controls that allow campus staff to manage channel selection and content scheduling. The company operates with 1-10 employees and has no disclosed outside funding, indicating a bootstrapped micro-business model.

The service is positioned as free to end users and free to institutions, with monetization reliant entirely on advertising and sponsorship yield rather than licensing or subscription revenue. The advertising category restrictions, while supporting credibility with university administrators, structurally limit the highest-CPM ad verticals. The company was co-founded by Corey Hebert (CEO) and Cary Wheelous (President), and operates as a single-entity LLC with no disclosed subsidiaries, investors, or board structure.
