Key Takeaway

A unified, cross-device, & strongly branded content streaming experience can lift usage on all owned digital platforms.

CBC is Canada’s national public broadcaster for both television and radio. In March 2019, CBC launched a new streaming service called CBC Gem which replaced their on-site media library and is now available on Fire TV, Android TV, and iOS apps. Prior to March 2019, CBC hosted its TV & longform video content in a website media library and a mobile phone app. These were separately branded and separate user experiences. No OTT was offered.
