Content Distribution

What is Content Distribution?

Content distribution is the process of publishing and promoting content across different platforms, devices, and formats. In streaming TV, it means delivering shows, clips, and live programming to audiences through services like FAST channels, AVOD platforms, and connected TV apps. The goal is to reach the right viewers, in the right place, at the right time.

Effective content distribution turns content into viewership. Whether through websites, social media, email newsletters, or streaming platforms, distribution strategies help ensure content gets seen—and monetized.

How Content Distribution Works

Content distribution begins once the video content is ready for delivery. Publishers upload assets, define scheduling rules, and choose which platforms to send the content to. Distribution platforms—like Wurl’s Global FAST Pass—automate much of this process, making it faster and easier to scale globally.

Distribution isn’t just about pushing content live—it’s also about making it discoverable and engaging. This includes optimizing metadata, placing content in resonant contexts, and pairing it with relevant advertising. According to a Mindshare study, ads placed alongside contextually aligned content can boost brand favorability by up to 60%.

Why Content Distribution Matters in Streaming TV

In today’s competitive streaming landscape, great content alone isn’t enough. Publishers need distribution tools that help them get in front of large, global audiences quickly. Strategic distribution increases visibility, boosts viewer engagement, and maximizes revenue opportunities.

Wurl supports content distribution across more than 55 streamers and billions of hours of monthly viewing. For publishers, this means access to new viewers and markets without having to build custom integrations for every platform.
