Fandango announced today that it will be expanding its on-demand streaming service, Fandango at Home, by adding pay-per-view capabilities and cable transactional video-on-demand distribution to the platform. The new additions will allow Fandango to distribute premium content and live events for viewers.
Fandango will both expand its first and third-party content distribution for live events through the acquisition of the PPV.com brand. The website has been the streaming home of live events, including boxing, soccer, wrestling, MMA, concerts, and comedy specials.
“This expansion represents a major leap forward in how Fandango serves fans premium content—when, where, and how they want it,” said Cameron Douglas, SVP of OTT/Streaming for Fandango. “iNDEMAND was best-in-class in supporting the content distribution of transactional content to the industry. By combining Fandango’s digital innovation and consumer reach with iNDEMAND’s legacy in delivering blockbuster movies, TV, and live events, we’re unlocking new possibilities for how the industry and fans access and enjoy entertainment at home.”
In today’s announcement, Fandango said that it will expand distribution capabilities for live events—spanning sports, music, and cultural programming. Making PPV content available through Fandango will give content providers a place to offer their live events to a large audience, and will give audiences the opportunity to get on-demand and PPV content on one unified platform.
