Philo, a privately owned company headquartered in the US, was founded in 2011 and employs approximately 140 individuals. The company reported $94.2M in revenue as of 2023 and functions as a tier 1 media tech buyer. It specializes in providing media and TV services as an internet television company.
On April 28, 2026, Philo signed a free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) distribution agreement with Comcast-owned Versant Media Group’s Free TV Networks, broadening access to channels 365BLK Outlaw and Pam Grier’s Soul Flix as part of a wider distribution strategy. Earlier the same day, Philo announced the appointment of Tom Tidgwell as Chief Financial Officer and Laura Dechant as Chief Operating Officer. Tidgwell previously served as CFO at ad tech company Madhive for nearly five years, and held senior leadership roles at WarnerMedia and Xandr. These leadership changes aim to guide the US-based OTT streamer to its next stage, strengthening its financial strategy and operational framework. This followed Philo's addition of 10 new channels on April 27, 2026, to its standalone free lineup, which now includes over 130 live ad-supported channels available without a subscription. The new channels include "Judge Judy" and "The Osbournes," and are also part of paid plans.
