About
FreeCast, Inc. (CAST) is a digital media company based in Orlando, Florida, best known for its SmartGuide platform, which aggregates and organizes streaming television and video content from across the internet into a single, searchable interface.
The company's core product is its SmartGuide technology, which functions as an interactive programming guide for the streaming era. This platform searches and consolidates content from numerous internet-based streaming services. FreeCast monetizes this guide through two primary models. First, it licenses the SmartGuide technology to consumer electronics brands and device manufacturers who integrate it into their products. Second, it sells its own subscription service, Select TV, directly to consumers through retail packages with monthly and annual plans.
Beyond its guide services, FreeCast operates a broader digital media and advertising business. This includes offering an advertising platform and agency services for connected TV. The company also provides services to help build free, ad-supported streaming television channels, handling tasks such as post-production editing, graphic assembly, and content acquisition for channel operators. Founded in 2011, FreeCast aims to simplify the fragmented streaming video landscape for both viewers and content distributors.
