Case Study: Global Cycling Network launches premium OTT streaming across TV platforms with FX Digital

Global Cycling Network launches 3-platform streaming app in 59 territories with FX Digital

FX Digital partnered with Global Cycling Network (GCN), a media company for cycling fans, to help them launch their first premium live and on-demand streaming service on Connected TV platforms. GCN's main focus had previously been on web and mobile, so they faced a significant challenge in structuring, planning, and architecting a TV application that would propel their strategy into this new realm.

FX Digital developed and launched a feature-rich JavaScript application for Samsung Tizen, Android TV, and Amazon Fire TV. The solution included keyless sign-in, dynamic content rails, and a design optimized for accessibility and a high-quality user experience. Following rigorous testing, the GCN+ app passed all vendor certifications and successfully launched worldwide in February 2021 across 59 territories, providing cycling fans with a cinematic viewing experience from home. FX Digital continues to support the ongoing development and maintenance of the application.
