Truth Social, the media company owned by Donald Trump, has announced plans create a live TV streaming service focused on “news networks” and “religious channels,” along with “content that has been canceled, is at risk of cancellation, or is being removed.”
Trump Media and technology Group (TMTG) says it will launch the streaming service in three phases, with the first involving the launch of the company's content delivery network (CDN). A CDN, such as those operated by Cloudflare and Akamai, is a service that websites use to help web pages load faster. TMTG says its CDN will operate “independently of Big tech,” allowing the platform to avoid complying with another company's rules.
Once live, TMTG plans to bring the Truth Social CDN for live streaming to the platform's web and mobile apps. Next, the company says it will launch standalone over-the-top streaming apps for phones and tablets before launching a streaming app for TVs. In a statement, Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes says the streaming service will offer a “guaranteed platform” for news and entertainment “that face discrimination from other channels and content delivery services.”
