“Since 2011, the Xumo brand has connected with millions of
customers across the country, establishing itself as a leader in
the free ad-supported TV industry for the innovative ways it
delivers content to its users,” said Marcien Jenckes, President,
Xumo. “The new Xumo will bring industry leading streaming and
aggregation technology nationwide through its expanding content,
product line up, and retailer relationships.”
Along with the naming of the joint venture, Charter and Comcast
also announced that Flex, the 4K streaming device Comcast licensed
to the joint venture will become Xumo Stream Box and XClass TV will
become Xumo TV. Both devices will remain powered by Comcast’s
global technology platform and feature an entertainment experience
designed to make it easy for consumers to find and enjoy their
favorite streaming content through a world-class user interface and
voice search. Xumo will go-to-market with its first branded devices
in late 2023, distributed by Comcast, Charter and Walmart, with
additional distributors to be announced in the future.
Xumo’s FAST service, which consists of hundreds of linear
channels and on demand options from a growing collection of
networks and content creators, will be rebranded Xumo Play. Xumo
Play will anchor the free content offering on Xumo devices and
continue to be available as an app on other streaming
platforms.
