Broadcast Radio and Television Network

What Broadcast Radio and Television Network does

BRTN — Broadcast Radio and Television Network — is a pre-launch streaming platform operated as a DBA of One Family Media Group LLC, part of Nexoria Enterprise, and founded in 2009 by Thomas Ford. The platform unifies three media formats — live linear television channels, video-on-demand, and live radio — under a single subscription product and is scheduled for public launch in May 2026. Core technology is a browser-based streaming stack using HLS/M3U8 adaptive bitrate encoding, accessible via web, iOS, Android, and built-in Smart TV browsers on Samsung, LG, Amazon Fire TV, Google TV, and Android TV, with AirPlay and screen mirroring extending reach to Apple TV and Roku. The platform is differentiated by three natural-language AI assistants — Judy for radio scheduling, Paul for TV programming, and James for sales and support — that automate broadcast programming and customer engagement.

The business model layers five revenue streams: consumer subscriptions at $2.99 (radio), $3.99 (TV), or $5.99/month (bundle) with an annual plan at $29.99; a 40% take rate on VOD rentals from independent content creators with a $200 monthly payout minimum; B2B station-ownership subscriptions at $150/month for radio and $250/month for TV, with station owners retaining 100% of their own ad revenue; a self-serve advertising platform at $0.05 per impression with a 60/40 split favoring station owners; and pay-per-view purchases on individual titles. Distribution is fully self-serve and product-led across all customer segments, with no headcount, customer logos, or funding history disclosed. The company has no known institutional investors and appears bootstrapped through its parent corporate structure.

BRTN's primary customer segments are cord-cutter consumers seeking a unified alternative to cable and satellite, independent content creators seeking smart-TV distribution, and station owners seeking turnkey broadcasting infrastructure. The company extends into owned media through Cord Cutters, a print and digital magazine launching June 2026 that doubles as content marketing. There are no disclosed revenue figures, customer counts, or funding rounds, and the platform's commercial operating status is pre-launch across all geographies.

Direct peers

• Xumo Play: Free ad-supported streaming service with hundreds of live channels and on-demand titles distributed across Smart TVs and mobile. Direct competitor in the FAST / live linear streaming space.

• Pluto TV: Free ad-supported live TV and on-demand streaming service owned by Paramount. Direct competitor in the cord-cutter / FAST streaming category, with similar reliance on ad-supported and freemium models.

Broad incumbents
