VOD network XUMO has reported a 325% rise in viewership in the past year – and has announced six additional premium channel launches.
The streaming platform also said that it has seen a 90% increase in user consumption over the past year.
To underscore the traction, XUMO also has debuted six premium channels across four content partnerships, with Eleven Sports, ATTN:, Endemol Shine Group and Genius Brands. The programming fortifies the company's current offering of over 140 channels.
"We attribute XUMO's tremendous success to several factors -- a focus on delivering free, best-in-class content to a rapidly expanding consumer base, and by providing significant opportunities to advertisers who leverage our insights to engage highly segmented audiences in more targeted, measurable ways," said Colin Petrie-Norris, CEO at *** XUMO ** www.xumo.tv

The programming will focus on emerging and mainstream sports content that is not currently readily available.
