IBC, AMSTERDAM — September 15, 2017

Opera TV, the global market leader in enabling OTT, today introduced its new brand identity, including a logo and website, meant to better illustrate the company’s mission to enable entertainment everywhere through extraordinary OTT products and services. Vewd will officially launch at IBC from September 15-19, where it will also showcase enhancements to its core technology and preview its latest breakthrough products.

As it enters the market with a new name and visual identity, Vewd continues to spearhead the industry’s transition to OTT. Vewd remains committed to leading the market with products and services that facilitate simple, reliable experiences for customers, partners and viewers. By enabling more than 1500 leading OTT apps and services, and offering over two million indexed videos through the Vewd App Store, Vewd connects consumers anywhere to the content they love.

“Today is a milestone for Vewd as we step out with our own brand that expresses our primary goal: enabling content to be viewed everywhere,” said Aneesh Rajaram, CEO, Vewd. “Our new visual identity highlights the universal elements of our industry – a play button, a screen, and the fragmented content landscape. While today is day one for Vewd, we build on our legacy as long-time leaders in OTT and remain committed not only to strengthen that position but push ourselves and our industry forward even faster.”

Vewd will exhibit at IBC from September 15-19 at RAI Amsterdam, Hall 14, Stand A20. Attendees are welcome to join and try out our latest products on display, including:

• Vewd Program Guide, the first fully scalable, modular and flexible program guide that seamlessly mixes broadcast, live streams, and catalog content;
