We're Back, Baby! -- XOTV Weekly
Updates
Well hello there, wonderful fan of XOTV! Katie, here, the Director of Creator Relations at XOTV. I’m emailing you because you are on our newsletter list. This is likely because you want to be kept up to date on the daily goings-on of our platform and because simply, you like us! And we like you, too.
We’ve decided it’s time to resuscitate this newsletter and want to start with some updates since we last took up valuable space in your inbox.
It’s been a wild year. We’re on TV, ma! If you live in Southern Africa and own a Hisense TV, you’ve likely already seen our app on your home screen. We’ll be expanding to more and more TVs in more and more countries soon.
We are also so happy to welcome many motivated creators and to work with talented podcasters on the XOTV platform. These folks include but are not limited to: Bas Rutten, Bootsy Collins, Culturs Magazine, Dennis Bright, Gil Amelio, Irene Yee and Levi Harrell, Lee Tomlinson, Michael Lloyd, Owen Rivera, Pat Boone, and The Comedy Chateau.
We’ve built out our own analytics program for XOTV! It is like Google Analytics in its functions but is completely privacy-focused to keep us on par with our values. Our goal is to track as little as possible in order to protect your privacy. Having our own analytics program allows us to ensure that.
Continuing in the development world of XOTV, we’ve also begun working with WellDev, a Swiss development team, to provide much-needed developers to help expand the functionality of the XOTV platform, improve our Hisense app, and more. They have been doing an incredible job and we are excited to continue working with them.
Our new creators and the additional funding have us in a lively position in the entertainment world. We look forward to working on so many inspiring projects and bettering the industry, one privacy-focused podcast at a time.

Everything XOTV Vlog
As always, we want to feature one of our team member’s weekly vlogs to keep you inspired in your creative pursuits. Our vlog this week is by our COO, Franz Michael Ressel, from our week filming in the California desert with some pretty awesome rock climbers. Check it out here!
Creator Profile
In this section, we want to highlight our awesome creators! But while we wait on them to give us their exciting details (and permission), I’ll use this space to update you on our efforts to tune in with our creators. I even made a vlog about it last week, which you can watch here!
In our pursuits of knowing you and diving into how to be the best we can be, we’ve created a few surveys! If you have a minute to fill them out, I will be so grateful! These help us to optimize our platform to bring the heat to the creative world.

Opportunities
Now, this may be one of the most fun sections of the newsletter, and if you’ve made it this far, I'm glad! I like to include a few great opportunities for creators and creatives because you are so gracious to bless us with space in your morning routine.
