Frequency Signs Content Licensing Deal with Newsy to Expand Offering of Millennial-Focused Video News


Frequency today announced a new content licensing deal with Newsy (News - Alert), a leading, millennial-focused Over-The-Top video news service. Through the partnership, Newsy's daily news coverage will be incorporated into Frequency's personalized cloud-based video service, available today on all web, Apple (News - Alert), and Android platforms, and via TV and mobile operators later this year.

"Newsy is always looking to partner with platforms and services that help us deliver our content to the growing audience of cord-cutters," said Blake Sabatinelli, general manager of Newsy. "Frequency has proven itself to be just that: a rapidly expanding and forward-thinking video service that is helping brands like ours connect with engaged new audiences."

Newsy brings perspective and analysis to reporting on world and national news, including politics, entertainment, science and technology. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of The E.W. Scripps Company (NYSE: SSP).

"The Frequency platform was designed to show people what's happening in their world right now," said Blair Harrison, CEO of Frequency. "Newsy is a great fit for Frequency's vision of delivering highly argeted and concise video in real time; they do this better than pretty much anyone out there in the news space. We're delighted to be able to offer Newsy to our customers, and to their audiences."
