Fox News goes to Maven for Internet TV monetization

February 13, 2023 By Cristina Ledesma

fnc.jpgMaven Networks, an Internet TV platform company, today announced that Fox News, has selected its service to power all of its online video channels for its global news network. The latest version of Maven’s sophisticated Internet TV platform streamlines the delivery and monetization of thousands of hours of ad-supported news videos across Fox’s online network and affiliate websites. Enabling this scale of media distribution is Maven’s next-generation video content management system, an integral part of the Maven Internet TV Platform, which supports millions of media assets and simultaneous video player transactions.

The Maven Internet TV Platform enables media companies to make their video libraries available for syndication to a network of online media outlets, while maintaining full control of their content and advertising. As video consumption grows beyond Fox News’ current streams per month, Maven’s highly scalable syndication platform will speed the delivery of Fox News’ online content to its affiliates worldwide. This ensures the timeliness of breaking news reports and on-demand video, creating a relevant and compelling experience for its online audience, and enables revenue generation from each video stream.

  • Dynamic display of live Digg count – statistics have shown this increases likelihood of user interaction
  • Faster load time

  • Related stories from the publisher’s domain to users that click the button
  • All existing smart Digg buttons will auto-upgrade in the coming weeks – however, it is recommended that publishers review the new documentation for optimization tips

While Digg widgets also get the following new features:

  • Headlines now link directly to the publisher’s content with the Diggbar instead of the Digg permalink page
