Company Announcements

SARASOTA, Fla., Aug. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trump Media & Technology Group (Nasdaq: DJT) (“TMTG” or the “Company”), operator of the social media platform Truth Social, announced today that it has successfully launched linear TV streaming on iOS devices.

In order to access TV streaming, iOS users will need to update the Truth Social app through the Apple App Store unless their devices are set to automatically download updates. Then, users can access TV streaming on the Truth Social app by clicking on a Truth+ streaming icon shaped like a TV. Users can view streaming content as stand-alone channels or in a separate picture-in-picture (“PiP”) window while scrolling on the Truth Social platform.

The launch is powered by TMTG’s new, custom-built content delivery network (“CDN”).

“We’ve hit a big milestone in our TV streaming rollout, with the service now available across the entire Truth Social platform—iOS, Android, and the Web,” said TMTG CEO Devin Nunes. “Our uncancellable CDN is delivering high-quality TV streaming to all Truth Social users. As we continue to test the service, we look forward to rolling out new Truth+ apps for over-the-top streaming to mobile devices and TVs.”

The launch of streaming on iOS devices is part of TMTG’s phased rollout of its streaming platform, Truth+. The Company next plans to introduce streaming apps integrated with the Truth Social platform that will offer cutting-edge features including an interactive 14-day electronic guide, instant catch-up TV on any show broadcast in the previous 7 days, network DVR, video on demand, subscription video on demand, a marketplace, and more.

TMTG also plans to unveil apps that allow users to watch streaming content on in-home TV sets and to introduce new advertising capabilities. 

TMTG plans to expand its streaming options as the rollout continues, focusing on news, Christian content, and family friendly programming. 

TMTG anticipates that, as the rollout progresses, it will continue stress and beta testing the streaming technology while collecting input from users—and announce when testing is finished and the rollout is complete.

As part of its strategy, TMTG is continuing to work toward closing the previously-announced perpetual licensing deal for CDN technology.

TMTG’s ultra-fast streaming technology is powered through specially designed infrastructure with its own servers, routers, and software stack. Thus, TMTG expects to gain full control over its tech delivery stack for streaming across private network CDN, consistent with the goal of rendering the service uncancellable by Big Tech.
