Zeam Media Launches Zeamcast Marketplace For Streamers

Zeam Media, a provider of OTT solutions and the hyperlocal streaming platform Zeam, has launched ZeamCast. With the tagline of “Install once. Deliver anywhere,” ZeamCast is a groundbreaking new marketplace that simplifies the connection between streamers, big and small, with local broadcast stations.

The new offering “seamlessly enables streamers to add local content to their line-up, while enabling local broadcast stations another way to grow their digital audience and significantly share in the advertising revenue generated as they look for ways to succeed as more viewers cut the cord,” the company says

ZeamCast is the latest innovation from trailblazer Jack Perry, a local broadcast technology tech pioneer whose achievements include creating the geo-fencing and subscriber authentication technology Geneva, which enabled satellite companies like Dish and DirecTV to deliver local TV signals from across the country; antennaweb.org, an online tool that helped consumers migrate from analog to digital TV; and TitanTV, a web-based electronic program guide with built-in DVR capabilities.

With ZeamCast, Zeam Media handles all the technology and advertising infrastructure, and eliminates technical hurdles for both the participating streamers and local stations. Smaller streamers with less access to less technological resources, content, and monetization opportunities will especially benefit. The burgeoning creator community can also leverage ZeamCast by using it to build an unlimited number of FAST channels ready for distribution to streamers. 

Perry said: “I started this company with the goal of connecting every local broadcaster to every viewer. I’ve always been a big champion of local broadcasters throughout my career, which is why both the National Association of Broadcasters and the Consumer Technology Association were my early backers. Now, more than a decade later, the need and demand for local broadcast news continues to grow, but many streamers are facing the challenges of cost and complexity in delivering this content to their audiences. With ZeamCast, we offer a solution for streamers and broadcasters that also helps our team work towards our earliest goal of connecting every broadcaster to every viewer. And Zeam won’t stop until we meet that goal.”

ZeamMedia currently powers OTT solutions, including live local broadcasts on Paramount+, the NFL, Amazon, Apple TV, Roku, Hulu and fuboTV, plus hundreds of other apps and websites. Perry and his team also launched hyperlocal streaming service, Zeam, in 2024 with its moniker, “Always Local, Always Free.”

Zeam currently features streams from hundreds of local stations and has partnerships with such top local broadcast groups as CBS, Gray Media, News Press & Gazette, Morgan Murphy and others. John Stamos serves as chief innovation officer of Zeam.
