TumTiki.com now has more than one million videos, including TV episodes,
films, and professionally-produced web originals; Library continues to
grow through partnerships and distribution agreements
Just three months after launch, TumTiki (www.tumtiki.com),
the largest online library of TV episodes, movies, local content,
professionally-produced clips and original web series, has surpassed the
one million mark in terms of videos available for free viewing.
Consistent with its commitment to offer the most diverse video
collection, TumTiki has added more than 300,000 video titles since its
launch in November 2011, all playable for free at TumTiki.com.
Besides carrying the most free online videos of any destination site,
TumTiki also offers the highest caliber of content. Free TV episodes and
films are available through its partnership with Hulu, and web originals
and clips (www.tumtiki.com/web)
from 5min.com and DailyMotion span more than 200 categories, including
fitness, home and garden, tech, travel, music and lifestyle. Another
100,000 premium films are available at TumTiki.com for rental through a
partnership with Amazon.com.
"We launched with more than 700,000 videos, but our focus to carry more
video remains at the forefront as we put the highest priority on
increasing the user volume," said Melinda White, Executive Vice
President, Revenue Development at Frontier Communications.
The TumTiki library includes more than 90,000 TV episodes, 110,000
movies and more than 900,000 professionally-produced clips and web
originals. In addition to the more than one million free videos on the
site, TumTiki has added over 25,000 news clips from its partner NewsLook
and has expanded its partnerships with REELZCHANNEL--TV About Movies® to
include special articles, cast and production photos, and reviews for
selected films.
"We are thrilled at the opportunity to expand our partnership with
TumTiki, and believe its goal to become the largest destination site for
premium video on the web complements REELZCHANNEL's mission of providing
quality original programming," said Bob Bedford, Senior Vice President
of Marketing at REELZCHANNEL. "We're always looking for new
opportunities to connect fans to the movie and entertainment content
that they love, and TumTiki allows us to continue on that path."
TumTiki provides an all-in-one browsing, searching and viewing
experience, making the online video experience seamless and more
efficient for users. In addition to the largest professionally-produced
video library of any destination site, TumTiki features a fun set of
social features enabling viewers to curate collections of videos with
