Frankly expands app platform for its CMS

May 10, 2017

Frankly Inc. has launched Raycom Media's mobile and over-the-top applications for its mobile apps platform. The apps are designed to work directly with Frankly's CMS for digital content, according to a press release.

Raycom Media brings 78 Android and iOS apps to the platform, bringing the total number of apps to 216 on Android and iOS. The platform comes with Frankly's App Management Sytsem, which allows each Raycom station to update apps through a back-end service. This removes the need to publish new builds on the app store.

"The launch of Raycom's mobile and OTT apps represents a huge milestone for Frankly and is the culmination of an incredible collaboration between Raycom and our entire team," Edison Cruz, vice president and product manager of mobile and OTT for Frankly, said in the release. "A key part of our strategy is expanding our mobile apps and OTT business, which we believe will be a significant growth catalyst for the future."
