Newly launched streaming service Strim has chosen Norigin Media to build its new TV Apps.
Strim is owned by the TV distributor Riks TV. The service offers most Norwegian linear TV channels as well as video on demand content. Some packages also include HBO Nordic, Paramount+ and Viaplay.
Already available on the PC and Mac, Android and iOS and TvOS devices, Strim is now planning a launch on smart TVs, where it will use the Norigin Media TV App framework and development services.
The framework is based on React, and is supported by all key manufacturers of Smart TVs and consoles, including Samsung, LG, Philips, Sony and PlayStation.
“We saw a great need for Strim to be available also on Smart TVs, which are fast becoming the chosen method of streaming television. We’re glad to collaborate with Norigin Media to expand the reach of our OTT service into all living rooms in Norway,” says Jérôme Franck-Sætervoll, CEO of RiksTV. “We chose a partner with a high level of expertise on these devices and great references from other broadcasters and Pay TV operators.”
“Norway has one of the highest internet user penetration rates in Europe, despite its complex infrastructure due to its high mountains and cold temperatures. Strim will make television more widely available to anyone, regardless of whether they’re at home or at the cabin,” added Ajey Anand, CEO of Norigin Media.
Strim is available to subscribe to everyone in Norway, regardless of their internet or broadband supplier.
RiksTV is owned jointly by both of Norway’s national broadcasters, NRK and TV2.
