“Our fans are hungry for unrivalled access to history content anytime, anywhere and on a number of devices,” says Tom Clifford, CEO of HistoryHit. “We are especially keen to expand our footprint and grow our audience in the US. Simplestream has given us the expertise and proven technology we need to build and grow this ambitious service. The fact that Simplestream has already successfully delivered these types of video service projects for top tier content owners, distributors and operators helped ensure a successful launch of HistoryHit.TV.”
