About Zappn TV
Vienna-based Zappn TV, part of the German media group ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 GmbH, launched in 2017 as a free OTT streaming app for mobile devices.
What they needed
Zappn carries established linear channels originated by its parent through traditional means, but the app team wanted to launch its own pop-up channels, unique to its platform. Without a dedicated team to schedule and run a 24/7 channel, it needed a simple, reliable tool to launch and operate a linear channel without committing many resources.
The result
After evaluating options, Zappn signed up for Veset Cirrus, a simpler playout service Veset offered at the time, with looping playlists and live event support. One example was the channel for the 4gamechangers event organised by ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4.
