Free Speech TV needed a web home that could stream a 24/7 live progressive news channel and a growing on-demand library to millions of viewers across the country, while staying commercial-free and dependable across devices and distribution partners.
Goals

The solution
Resourcifi built freespeech.org as a streaming-first web platform that pairs a 24/7 live linear channel with an on-demand film and documentary library, delivered across Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire and Alexa with CDN-backed performance and continuous uptime.
