Accedo One is thrilled to power the launch of The Network, a new free, ad-supported streaming app that focuses on only releasing exclusive premium originals, across its entertainment platforms.. The Network is built on the principle of "Always Originals, Always Free," and offers U.S. audiences a refreshing alternative to the overwhelming clutter typical of traditional streaming platforms.

“The Network is providing a solution for consumers that feel overwhelmed by the excess of unnecessary content,”

said industry veteran and The Network founder Aram Rappaport.

“The service is an opportunity to bring a curated catalog to U.S. audiences who want to eliminate the scrolling fatigue of subscription services. We are not justifying monthly fees by holding droves of content consumers get lost in. In fact, we never want you to search our platform, let us come to you. When there’s a new original launching – we’ll let you know”.

To support the launch, Rappaport turned to Accedo One, a leading SaaS platform that is able to reduce time to market, minimize operational costs, and offer unparalleled design flexibility—ensuring a smooth and dynamic user experience from day one.

Rappaport added,

“In launching The Network, our goal was to strip away the noise and offer viewers a direct, engaging experience with storytelling at its core. Accedo One has been a game-changer in this mission, providing the technological backbone that lets us focus on what we do best—creating and delivering compelling originals without the clutter. With their support, we’ve curated a space where quality content meets simplicity.” 

Fredrik Andersson, SVP SaaS Products at Accedo, added:

“We’re excited to see The Network come to life using the power of Accedo One . Their curated approach is quite unique and is designed to engage viewers with top-tier content while eliminating the fatigue of endless scrolling. The Accedo One platform is designed to support innovative streaming services like The Network, enabling them to focus on delivering high-quality, original content without the typical technical hurdles. ”

The platform has already seen significant user sign-ups since the launch, reflecting the appeal of its unique content strategy and the seamless experience provided by Accedo One.

Accedo will be at IBC in Amsterdam on September 13-16, booth 5.D68 to demo Accedo services that help streaming services streamline their operations to achieve sustainable profitability.

About The Network

The Network is a new free, ad-supported premium streaming platform that launched in 2024 in the U.S. that has grown close to 1 million users in the first 100 days. The platform seeks to declutter the streaming experience and eliminate the endless scrolling by consumers to find appealing series and films. Built on the principle “Always Original, Always Free” the streamer will only release high quality originals for its subscribers. In addition to creating a clutter-free streaming space for consumers with quality content, The Network also provides its advertisers with a unique opportunity to curate advertising that resonates with the subscribers and integrate campaigns from an earlier stage of development. 

 The Networks first offerings were the drama series, The Green Veil starring John Leguizamo and the comedy series, Chivalry starring Steve Coogan and Sarah Solemani. The Network was created by filmmaker Aram Rappaport, founder of the creative ad-agency The Boathouse, and is available on all devices across X1, Apple, Android, Roku, Amazon Fire, and Web.
