What Rights Booster does

Rights Booster is a London-based B2B content distribution company founded in 2020 that helps rightsholders monetize their programming catalogues through Video-on-Demand (VOD) and Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV (FAST) channels. The company distributes thousands of hours of programming across multiple genres including documentaries, drama and comedy series, films, sports, and children's content. Its stated mission is to promote rightsholder interests in the transition from traditional broadcasting to streaming platforms.

The company's product offering comprises two core services: a VOD Distribution Service that places rightsholder content onto video-on-demand platforms, and FAST Channels that the company launches, manages, and distributes both as wholly-owned operations and as joint ventures with content owners. The underlying technology is a web-based catalogue and distribution platform (built on Laravel, per cookie references), and marketing is conducted through a programme catalogue website featuring trailers, screeners, and programme metadata. The company operates with a lean headcount of approximately five employees and reaches rightsholders across at least nine countries, including the UK, US, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Germany, Israel, Colombia, and Canada.

Rights Booster generates revenue through licensing fees, distribution agreements, and revenue-sharing arrangements with rightsholders, operating on a sales-led go-to-market motion targeting media companies, film studios, television producers, and individual content creators. No public pricing is disclosed, no funding rounds or external investors are documented, and no management team is publicly listed in the source data. The company is privately held with no parent or subsidiary structure identified, trades under the DBA "Booster," and uses an [email protected] contact domain that suggests an affiliated operational entity.

Broad incumbents

• Fremantle: Global production and distribution powerhouse owning massive catalogues (e.g., America's Got Talent formats, hundreds of drama titles). Comparable as a rights-holder/distributor, but with vastly greater scale.
• Pluto TV (Paramount Global): The largest free ad-supported streaming platform globally. Buinds and operates hundreds of FAST channels, sourcing content from partners — competing with Rights Booster both as a downstream platform and indirectly as a channel operator.
• Tubi (Fox Corporation): Major free ad-supported streaming service with thousands of titles and FAST channels. Functions both as a buyer of Rights Booster-type distribution and as a competitor with its own channels.
• All3Media: Owns and distributes a large library of scripted and unscripted content globally through its distribution arm. A relevant peer in TV content distribution and rights monetisation.
• Roku Channel: Operates a leading FAST channel lineup on Roku devices and licenses third-party content. A key downstream platform and indirect competitor for FAST channel partners.
• BBC Studios: Global content distribution arm of the BBC, licensing top-tier drama, factual, and kids programming into VOD and FAST worldwide. Relevant as both a potential supplier to and competitor with Rights Booster.

Direct peers

• Blue Ant Media: Operates multiple FAST channels (e.g., HauntTV, Love Nature, Blue Ant Extreme) and distributes content globally, mirroring Rights Booster's wholly-owned and JV FAST channel strategy.
• FilmRise: US-based content distribution company that licenses films and TV series to VOD and FAST platforms. Directly comparable to Rights Booster in its role as an aggregator placing third-party content onto streaming services.
• Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment (Crackle Plus): Operates the Crackle and Chicken Soup for the Soul FAST services and licenses third-party content into FAST distribution. A direct competitor in monetising catalogues through AVOD/FAST channels.
• Tastemade: Operates owned-and-operated FAST channels (Tastemade, Tastemade en Español) and licenses lifestyle/food programming to platforms. Comparable FAST-channel-first distribution model.
