Case Study: Hope Channel expands global reach and simplifies multi-device video distribution with Brightcove

Online Video Broadens Hope Channel’s Thriving Global Community Regional Affiliates Leverage Common Global Platform

Hope Channel, the global television network of the Seventh‑day Adventist Church, has grown to 44 channels with most programming produced locally in dozens of languages. That rapid, regionally driven expansion made distribution complex: satellite and terrestrial broadcasts limited access, multiple protocols and devices fragmented the audience, and Hope needed a way to make video more discoverable, watchable and shareable across regions and screens.

Hope Channel standardized on Brightcove Video Cloud to power live streams and a growing VOD library integrated into a redesigned website, with unified templates, automatic transcoding, a robust API and multi‑device support (Roku, Apple TV, iOS, Samsung, Android). The platform simplified affiliate workflows, enabled captioning and consistent playback, and drove measurable engagement — 3.6 million video views and 96.7 million viewed minutes in the past year — while expanding global access and audience growth.
