Verizon acquires a stake in AwesomenessTV, expands its mobile content presence

Verizon Communications, the provider of broadband and telecom services, has agreed to acquire a 24.5% stake in AwesomenessTV, an online video startup owned by Dreamworks Animation, in furtherance of its aim to form a premium online video streaming service. The deal states that Dreamworks Animation will retain its controlling 51% stake in AwesomenessTV, which is valued at $650 million, whereas media titan Heart Corporation will hold the remaining 24.5%. AwesomenessTV is oriented towards video programming, and is available on its popular Youtube channel which currently has over 170 million subscribers and 16 billion views under its belt. 80% of AwesomenessTV’s viewership has now moved to mobile, so it’s easy to see what Verizon brings to the table and gets out of this deal. While the two companies already had a pact in place to provide exclusive video content for distribution on go90 (including shows like “Guidance” and “Top Five Live”), AwesomenessTV will now be launching a premium short-form mobile video channel under its brand as part of the go90 streaming service.

The platform features Behavioral fingerprinting (Browser, User, Network), Threat Detection and Bot Mitigation and Layer 7 DDoS Mitigation.
