Sound familiar?

“I have hundreds of videos on YouTube, but nobody watches them in order.”

“I want a real channel people can leave on, not another playlist.”

“Starting a TV station sounds like it needs a studio, a satellite and a budget I don't have.”

A TV channel today is a schedule of videos that plays around the clock, a page where people watch it, and apps on their TVs. Fluger does all three.

How to start your own TV channel in 4 steps

1

Create the channel

Give it a name, a logo and a short description. This becomes your channel page.

2

Add videos or go live

Paste links from YouTube or Vimeo, add any MP4 or M3U8 stream, upload your own files, or broadcast live from OBS over RTMP.

3

Build the schedule

Arrange videos into a 24/7 lineup, or turn on Auto Mode and Fluger fills every day for you. Viewers see what's on now and what's next in the TV guide.

4

Share it everywhere

Send people to your channel page, embed the player on your website, or get your own channel app on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV and Android TV.

Two kinds of channels

Linear channel (24/7, like TV)

Videos play on a schedule, and everyone sees the same thing at the same time. Viewers tune in to what's on now. Good for music, classics, news loops, church services and themed channels.

On-demand channel (like Netflix)

Viewers browse rows of videos and pick what to watch. Good for courses, series, sermon archives and back catalogs. You can run both kinds side by side.

Where your viewers watch

Your channel page

A public page with the player and the TV guide. Share the link anywhere.

Your website

Embed the player and guide on your own site with one code snippet.

TV and phone apps

Your own branded apps on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, iPhone and Android. Publish them yourself, or we do it for you.

What it costs

  • Free: up to 3 channels, Auto Mode scheduling, and videos from YouTube, Vimeo and stream links.
  • From $35/month: upload your own videos, embed the player on your website and add your branding.
  • Premium, $150/month: live streaming over RTMP and your own TV and mobile apps. We can publish them to the stores for a one-time $95.

Questions about starting a TV channel

Create a free Fluger account, make a channel, add videos from YouTube, Vimeo or a stream link, and turn on Auto Mode to fill the schedule. Your channel page with a TV guide works right away. The free plan includes up to 3 channels.

You can start for $0. Paid plans start at $35 a month for uploads, embedding and branding, and Premium ($150 a month) adds live streaming and TV apps. There is no equipment to buy.

A linear channel plays a fixed schedule around the clock, like traditional TV: everyone watching sees the same program at the same time. On an on-demand channel, each viewer picks a video instead.

You need the right to show every video you schedule: your own recordings, content you have licensed, or videos whose owners allow embedding.

Yes. On Premium you can broadcast live from OBS or any encoder over RTMP, and the live show appears in your schedule. On any plan you can also add an existing live M3U8 stream.

On your channel page in any browser, on your own website through the embed, and in your own apps on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, iPhone and Android.

Yes. With Premium, Fluger builds your channel apps for Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV and Android TV. You can install the builds yourself, or we publish them to the stores for you, review included.

No. Everything happens in your browser: paste links or upload, arrange the schedule and share. You don't need servers, encoding or app development.
