NexTv Srl

What NexTv Srl does

NexTv Srl is an Italian private limited company (Srl) founded in 2007 and headquartered in Gussago, Brescia, that provides digital transformation strategy and software to Italian local and thematic television broadcasters. The company was established by professionals originating from Sigeco, a Brescia-based firm that developed digital broadcast graphics systems from 1983 onward, including a world-first digital basketball statistics system for RAI in 1984 and coverage of major international sporting events (Italy '90 World Cup, Champions League, Olympics) for networks such as RAI, Mediaset, Sky Italia, and TV Svizzera.

The company's product portfolio centers on the proprietary YCOW (Your Channel On Web) platform, a metamotor-based Video On Demand and interactive multimedia distribution system that supports multi-channel streaming, adaptive broadcaster branding, social features (rating, commenting, favorites), and responsive playback across Smart TVs, PCs, tablets, and smartphones. Building on YCOW, NexTv developed BresciaConnessa, a participatory WEBTV 2.0 platform that aggregates thousands of third-party videos about the Brescia territory. Complementary offerings include Newsroom and Media Asset Management (MAM) solutions and the NEXTV MCserver multichannel video server. The company also maintains a long-standing partnership with EBD for sports graphics composition covering Serie A/B football, Formula 1, MotoGP, and major international competitions.

NexTv monetizes through a mix of strategic consulting engagements (digital transition, business model innovation, organizational restructuring, digital culture development) and YCOW software licensing (deployable on local servers or cloud), supplemented by technology integration services that combine validated third-party Newsroom and MAM solutions with its proprietary stack. Distribution is direct and consultative: NexTv engages local TV station owners and editors face-to-face to scope customized engagements. The active customer base comprises Italian regional broadcasters such as Videolina (Sardinia), Telearena (Veneto), Videostar (Bergamo), BresciapuntoTV, and Centroserena; historical engagements also included CNBC Italia, Sky Italia, RAI, and Mediaset. Marketing is conducted primarily through an industry blog (Il Blog di NexTV), LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook.
