🌍 Staying Ahead with the European Accessibility Act: A Game-Changer for Streaming Services 🚀

2026 is just around the corner, and with it comes the European Accessibility Act. This isn't just another regulation - it's a pivotal moment for international streaming services.

The Act aims to make services more accessible, and yes, it does bring its share of compliance requirements. But let's look beyond the 'must-dos'. There's a silver lining here: a competitive advantage waiting to be unlocked.

Imagine enhancing your data supply operations to not just meet but exceed the standards. This isn't just about avoiding penalties; it's about setting your service apart. In an industry where user experience is king, accessible features can be your crown 👑

So, are you ready to turn this regulation into an opportunity? It's time to rethink, revamp, and revolutionize.

This week we sat down with Clipsource's very own CPO, Johan Wiklund, to discuss the best ways to simplify complex workflows in the industry when it comes to:

2. Sharing marketing materials and data with external stakeholders and platforms so that your content gets discovered.


Johan has over 20 years of experience providing communication and media sharing solutions for top companies in the media industry.


Some of the main points touched upon in this session include:


• The change in the media industry with an increase in content and competition.


• Getting your workflows in line and simplifying your distribution processes.


• Repurposing content from other teams and siloed systems by integrating internal platforms (planning systems, media systems, systems, DAMs) to one user-friendly interface where you can find everything you need for a program or movie regardless of what team you work for.


• The importance of having the right data and media to promote content.


• Ensuring your content is visible within your own platform and easily searchable.


• Using tools to share sensitive, secure content such as pre-premiere
screeners.

In a world of endless and services, the popularity of a new option that resembles traditional linear TV, Free Ad-Supported TV ( ), has taken everyone by surprise.

After being overloaded with services and content options, it seems that many viewers feel comfortable returning to a familiar model of viewing where the choices of what to watch are limited and ultimately decided for you.

In addition, the economic aspect of going from paying hundreds of dollars a month for broadcast TV and various streaming channels to nothing is also a huge selling point.

However, just because your is a ‘slam dunk’ in some markets, like the US, doesn’t mean that you can just take that service, launch it in Europe and expect the same success.

If you want to make your FAST TV channel attractive to users, then it comes down to creating a great user experience for each market. Here is what you need to focus on to make that happen.

1. Localise your content

This is key to succeeding in European markets. And this doesn’t mean just using subtitles on your programs. If you are showing international programming then you should also consider dubbing in the local language.

2. Your ad experience needs to be adjusted per market

In the US, consumers are used to being blasted with a bunch of ads that regularly interrupt their programs. In Europe - not so much. Make sure you are adjusting per market. If you take the same ad approach for every country your FAST channel will not be successful.

3. Navigation is key - Get your EPG data under control

FAST is still a linear model of TV watching, meaning that you need to bring your strategy back to the basics and make sure that your EPG data is top-notch. The best way to do this is by controlling your output yourself, both on your channel and to 3rd party sites so that users can discover your content.

4. Invest in marketing & communication

The number of FAST channels will likely grow massively in the next few years. Stay ahead of the competition and make sure potential customers and made aware of your channel through SEO, proactive distribution of schedules, advertising etc.
