🚀 "𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗩𝗢𝗗 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗔𝗦𝗧 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗱-𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺" - strong words from our own Karl Tempest-Mitchell!

In NewscastStudio's IBC 2026 preview, Karl, EVP at Setplex, makes the case that hybrid monetization failures usually trace back to the platform itself: "They're proof the platform underneath was built for one subscription tier and never architected for hybrid monetization."
His comment opens a wider feature on how media organizations are rethinking monetization and measurement as audiences fragment across more platforms.

As AVOD, FAST, and subscription models increasingly have to coexist on the same platform, architecture - not just ad strategy - is becoming the real differentiator.

Reliability isn't a feature — it's a promise operators make to their viewers every hour of every day. Alejandra Saenz, Head of Customer Care at Setplex, shares what real support looks like when it actually matters.

Not every reliability story lives in the infrastructure. Some of it is just someone picking up the phone at 2am. That's 🛟 Smarter Support.

🚀 "𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿" — that's the future of content discovery, according to our own Nelson Hulett!

In FEED's IBC 2026 issue, Nelson Hulett, Regional VP for the Americas at Setplex, shares what's separating the operators pulling ahead: AI-powered, intent-based search over old-school keyword matching. Instead of scrolling and guessing, viewers simply say what they want — and get guided straight to it.

As AI reshapes how audiences find what to watch, discovery is quickly becoming the real differentiator for streaming platforms.

A single CDN is a single point of failure.

Sergey Yarosh, Solution Architect at Setplex, explains how multi-CDN orchestration and content steering keep streams running when it counts most.

This is how Smarter Delivery helps to ensure the reliability — viewers don't reward it, they just never notice it, which is exactly the point.

Every minute spent searching is a minute closer to churn.

Luis Brenes, Product Director at Setplex, breaks down how super aggregation keeps viewers inside your experience — even when the content they want lives somewhere else.

This is how Smarter Discovery helps to win the home screen — when subscribers find everything in one place, they never have a reason to open another app.

Entering APAC is the easy part. Growing subscribers there is the real challenge.

💬 ARPU growth in APAC comes from alignment with local behavior, not from applying a global playbook.
— Karl Tempest-Mitchell, EVP at Setplex

It's a simple idea, but a lot of streaming platforms end up built the opposite way — one OTT strategy, applied everywhere, regardless of how differently each market actually behaves.

Karl's latest article breaks down what that actually looks like in practice.
