We’re Bringing Fans More of the Content They Love to VRV!
09–29–2016 | Mike Aragon, General Manager of VRV
Since announcing VRV this past June, we have been hard at work continuing to build our new video platform and looking for additional partner channels that will help us deliver the best in anime, animation, gaming, comedy, fantasy, horror and technology. We want VRV to feature the most comprehensive collection of content hand-picked for members of the fandom, so we’ve searched high and low for partner channels that believe and support our vision. Today, we’re excited to introduce you to the newest members of our VRV family!
Funimation, Tested, RiffTrax, CollegeHumor, Machinima, GINX eSports TV and Shudder will join us at VRV when we launch later this year. MONDO, the longest running and most prolific digital distributor of high-quality animation, will have its exclusive SVOD home in the U.S. on VRV. We couldn’t be happier to work with these channel partners as they’re dedicated to serving the fandom just as much as we are.
What’s more, they’re producing newer and better shows for our audience as well as streaming the fan-favorite classics. On VRV, you can expect hit shows like Cowboy Bebop, Drifters, RiffTrax Live, BFFs and Tested Builds, along with Shudder’s robust catalogue of horror films and series and CollegeHumor’s curated shorts. With this dynamic selection, you’ll discover even more shows to love. Now, you’ll really struggle with what to watch first!
Alongside our previously announced partners — Rooster Teeth, Seeso, Nerdist Alpha, Geek & Sundry Alpha, Cartoon Hangover and Ellation’s own Crunchyroll, these new partner companies will help us create a first-of-its-kind video experience for the fandom. By bringing all these channels together, you can finally enjoy premium content from multiple services through one app, one login and one billing exchange. At VRV, we want to create a 360-degree experience for fans both on and off the screen.
Yes, you know we’re excited. But, you’re probably wondering, what do our partners think? Glad you asked:
“As we continue to expand and innovate, we are excited to partner with VRV, bringing Shudder’s large selection of horror films and TV series to a deeply passionate fanbase,” said Linda Pan, the General Manager of Shudder.
“Interactivity and community are at the heart of eSports and here at GINX eSports TV we are looking forward to bringing our international programming mix to the VRV platform. We are big fans of Crunchyroll and love the prospect of our content being handpicked by the creative genius of our fellow VRVsters,” commented Michiel Bakker, CEO of GINX eSports TV
“I’m thrilled to be part of the VRV platform; it’ll get our Riffed movies, shorts and live shows on more platforms, which is fantastic, but if nothing else the world will know we weren’t hallucinating when we watched Roller Gator” said Michael J. Nelson, President of RiffTrax
“Machinima has always sought to super-serve gaming and hero fans and we are excited to partner with a platform whose audiences has a voracious appetite for our hero, gaming and eSports programming,” said James Glasscock, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Business Development at Machinima.
