Advertise on JEDtv and WJOB

Since northwest Indiana never had a commercial TV station, during Covid, we used stimulus funds to build an OTT (over-the-top) 24-hour FAST (free, ad-supported TV) streaming video network.

We stream video to the cloud and distribute it to smart TVs and phones. Then we strip out the audio and simulcast it on the 400-foot WJOB tower (am and FM radio). It's a complex system in the hottest segment in media. 

You may have not heard of local FAST OTT TV. But Region high schools, colleges, towns, cities, law enforcement. The Times, and others have, Content from them, along with our own, has made JEDtv a  clearinghouse for local video. Several Region businesses have discovered local FAST OTT and advertise on it. They are pioneers. Please consider joining them.
