TV Vest, the local TV station based in Stavanger, Norway, has officially launched its new online streaming service using Vimond Essentials.
The new platform, available at tvvest.no, brings a modern, flexible viewing experience to audiences across Rogaland, including the cities of Stavanger, Sandnes, and Bryne. It offers live streaming, on-demand content, and a simple and intuitive subscription flow with Vipps or a credit card.
Powered by Vimond Essentials, the new service gives TV Vest a future-ready video platform with intuitive tools for managing, publishing, and distributing content — without requiring a large technical team.
Viewers can now easily browse programs by topic, access live broadcasts, and discover content based on their interests. The new portal allows TV Vest to combine live news, event coverage, and on-demand video in one seamless experience for their audiences.
“When Vimond reached out to us, the timing was perfect—we were looking to move to an end-to-end solution that would give us full control over our subscribers, Vipps login, and a video platform that is both efficient and intuitive to use. We also gained a very flexible front page editing tool, which allows us to quickly and easily update the layout of our content at any time. Vimond has delivered on time and has been solution-oriented and responsive whenever we've requested changes or new features for the platform. Another great feature of the setup is that it gives us dedicated apps for Apple TV and Google TV, which more and more of our subscribers are using,” says Ørjan Hennes, Managing Director and Chief Editor, TV VEST.
"With Vimond Essentials, TV Vest gains a professional, cloud-based streaming platform that's powerful and easy to operate. It allows their team to manage live and on-demand content efficiently, deliver a great viewing experience across devices, and stay fully in control of their brand", says Steffen Fuglerud, EVP of Marketing and Sales at Vimond.
The new service supports complete branding, mobile responsiveness, and playback on all major devices — enabling TV Vest to reach local audiences wherever they are.
