What is Beachfront Media and why is it all over the Apple TV app store?
To answer the first question, Beachfront Media is a video technology company that helps publishers syndicate and monetize their content across the TV Everywhere landscape.
To answer the second question, it’s because of RISE, Beachfront’s new OTT offering that helps content creators deploy apps directly to Apple TV, Roku, and Amazon Fire TV, among others.
