We've been innovating in streaming technology for a decade. Now we're building its future.
From our origins in the free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) space to our joint venture with Comcast and Charter, Xumo is set to lead the future of streaming with its full suite of entertainment solutions for both businesses and consumers.

Philadelphia, November 4th, 2024 &ndash; Xumo, a streaming platform joint venture between Comcast and Charter, today announced it has teamed up with Target to offer Hisense Xumo TVs, a budget-friendly, content-forward 4K UHD smart TV.
Hisense Xumo TVs are available in 55&rdquo; and 65&rdquo; models in stores nationwide and on Target.com and priced at $249.99 and $359.99 respectively.
<blockquote>
&ldquo;The growing fragmentation of content on streaming services can make content discovery difficult &ndash; the Xumo TV makes streaming easy,&rdquo; said Stephanie Cassi, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Xumo. &ldquo;Extending our reach with Hisense, a top global TV manufacturer, and Target, a premier retail destination and one of the country&rsquo;s most-trafficked e-commerce sites, is a major win.&rdquo;
</blockquote>
The Hisense Xumo TV's simple and intuitive user experience is anchored by the included voice remote, allowing users to search across hundreds of apps and services at once and find favorites by title, actor or genre. The TV also creates an immersive viewing experience by supporting Dolby Vision&reg; HDR and HDR10 technology, providing enhanced color and contrast, and enables the pass-through of Dolby Atmos&reg; from supported content sources when connected to a compatible audio device.
<blockquote>
&ldquo;Launching Hisense Xumo TVs in Target marks an exciting chapter for Hisense USA, as we bring advanced, wallet-friendly technology to more households across the nation,&rdquo; said Craig Gunther, Head of TV Product Marketing, Hisense USA. &ldquo;This collaboration between us, Xumo and Target not only expands our reach but also reaffirms our commitment to delivering exceptional value and an enhanced viewing experience for all consumers.&rdquo;
</blockquote>
The launch comes just in time for the holidays, giving consumers an opportunity to add an affordable, innovative TV to their gift lists.
Xumo TV&rsquo;s Growth
The Target launch is the latest milestone in a year of tremendous growth for Xumo TV. With the support of its original equipment manufacturer partners, Element, Hisense and Pioneer, Xumo TVs will be available in nearly 8,000 locations across the U.S., spanning nine national and local retailers including Best Buy, BJs, Meijer, Target and Walmart. Combined, the retailers that sell Xumo TVs represent nearly 75% of all smart TV sales in the U.S.
Streaming Made Easy
In addition to being pre-loaded with hundreds of streaming apps and services including Apple TV+, Disney+, Max, Hulu, Netflix, Peacock, Prime Video, YouTube and more, Xumo TV&rsquo;s interface is built to solve a growing source of frustration for TV viewers, which is content discoverability.
A recent Comcast Advertising survey suggests over 70% of viewers cannot easily find the content they want to watch on their device, and 65% of viewers are spending more than six minutes searching for new content.
Xumo TV&rsquo;s UI is designed to get customers to the programs they love faster, while also making it easier for them to discover something new to watch. In addition to the voice remote's quick searching capability, customers can also build their own personalized watchlist of movies and shows from hundreds of different apps and services all in one place with My List.
The simplicity of the Xumo TV experience is made possible by the operating system that powers it. It is the same global entertainment operating system that powers tens of millions of devices from Comcast and its partners across the globe, and brings some of the TV&rsquo;s best features, like seamless content discovery, voice search and personalization, to life.

Xumo Teams Up with Target to Offer Hisense Xumo TVs

Atlanta, GA (October 17th, 2024) &ndash; Cox Communications today announced the launch of Xumo Stream Box, a 4K streaming device that brings together the best of live TV and streaming into one simple, intuitive experience. The device is now available to Cox Internet customers nationwide at a competitive one-time price point.
Why it matters
Research studies show consumers get frustrated and overwhelmed by the sheer volume of content available to them.
<ul>
<li>Consumers are managing all their streaming services themselves.</li>
<li>Finding something to watch can feel like a chore.</li>
</ul>
With the launch of Xumo Stream Box, Cox Communications is removing these obstacles for its Internet customers, offering them a device that makes finding and watching the content they love easy. Powered by Comcast&rsquo;s newest entertainment experience, Entertainment OS, Xumo Stream Box enables Cox customers to:
Watch more, search less
Customers can search for a show or movie by saying its name into the included voice remote, and Xumo Stream Box will search across available apps and services to find it.
Xumo Stream Box uses both AI-driven personalization and a team of editors to surface content recommendations within the experience, helping customers find something to watch without having to jump in and out of apps.
Enjoy all the best apps with more ways to personalize than ever
Xumo Stream Box comes preloaded with hundreds of streaming apps, including live streaming services like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, and Fubo, as well as top streaming apps like Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, Max, Peacock, and hundreds more. They can simply say the name of the streaming service into the voice remote, and Xumo Stream Box will find and launch it.
With &ldquo;My List,&rdquo; Cox customers can build personalized viewing lists for every member of the family. With just one click, customers can add any show or movie available on Xumo Stream Box to a specific list, giving them a quick way to find what to watch next.
Get more from their streaming experience
The built-in channel guide makes browsing through Xumo Play&rsquo;s 350+ free live channels&mdash;spanning live local and national news, movies, sports, reality shows, crime TV, kids programming, and more&mdash;a seamless part of the experience.
By saying &ldquo;free&rdquo; into the voice remote, customers will find thousands of on-demand movies and TV shows from apps like Tubi, Pluto TV, and Xumo Play.
With the launch of Xumo Stream Box, Cox continues to evolve its entertainment portfolio to meet the changing needs of its customers. Xumo Stream Box joins Contour as the latest device to leverage Comcast&rsquo;s award-winning entertainment and voice technology, bringing the same seamless search and content discovery its TV customers enjoy to its broadband customers.
&ldquo;We designed Xumo Stream Box to take the complexity out of streaming and get customers to the programs they love faster, while also making it easier for them to discover something new to watch,&rdquo; said Michael Gatzke, Senior Vice President Affiliate Development, Xumo. &ldquo;Cox joins Xfinity, Spectrum, and Mediacom as the fourth U.S.-based operator to offer Xumo Stream Box to its customers, capping off a great year of growth and momentum for our streaming devices.&rdquo;
Xumo Stream Box is the latest example of Cox meeting its customers&rsquo; evolving needs&mdash;now with a flexible entertainment solution that pairs with Cox Internet. Cox has invested nearly $12B in network upgrades over the past 10 years to deliver some of the most powerful communications and entertainment services and will continue making multibillion-dollar annual infrastructure investments over the next several years. The company also recently launched Cox Mobile to provide flexible, affordable options to address customers&rsquo; connectivity needs outside the home.

Cox has joined Xfinity, Spectrum and Mediacom as the fourth U.S.-based operator to offer Xumo Stream Box to its customers.

Cox Communications Launches Xumo Stream Box: a next-level voice-activated streaming device for internet customers

Cox follows Xfinity as the latest MVPD to integrate Xumo-powered FAST channels into its linear guide after the <a href="https://corporate.comcast.com/stories/comcast-brings-20-fast-channels-to-the-x1-channel-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">milestone integration</a> on X1 and the Xfinity Stream app last year. Xumo Enterprise has been syndicating and powering FAST channels on streaming platforms for years, and the Xfinity and Cox launches represent an important evolution in the company&rsquo;s efforts to make FAST more accessible to consumers on a growing range of connected devices.
Notably, Cox&rsquo;s Contour TV customers can now find 20 Xumo-branded FAST channels integrated into their channel guide. The channels span a variety of genres, from action, comedy, and drama movies to game shows, kids and reality TV programs, plus much more.
Additionally, later this year Sky will integrate its <a href="https://www.skygroup.sky/article/sky-adds-six-new-channels-to-sky-glass-and-sky-stream-for-no-extra-cost-" target="_blank" rel="noopener">six new FAST channels</a> into the TV guide on Sky Glass and Sky Stream devices. The channels, which just launched last month and feature a selection of previously aired, much-loved shows from Sky&rsquo;s expansive catalog, are currently available within the Xumo Play app on Sky&rsquo;s Entertainment OS-powered devices. By partnering with Xumo Enterprise to integrate the new channels into the guide experience, Sky can offer its customers a new way to discover and enjoy them alongside all their other favorite programming.
These MVPD channel guide integrations are an example of Xumo&rsquo;s ongoing effort to support consumers&rsquo; growing appetite for FAST. Earlier this year, Xumo found in a <a href="https://corporate.comcast.com/press/releases/xumo-2024-fast-report-entertainment-habits-free-easy-streaming" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a> that pay TV customers watch more FAST than cord-cutters or cord-nevers and that time spent watching FAST during primetime hours rivals gaming, social media, and cable TV.

Xumo Enterprise, the business-to-business arm of the Xumo joint venture between Comcast and Charter Communications, has partnered with Cox Communications to integrate free ad-supported TV (FAST) channels into its linear guide to offer customers more quality programming at no additional cost.
