JW Player, the streaming video company that (in the words of its president Chris Mahl) helps online publishers find “life after YouTube, or life beyond YouTube,” has made a big move onto mobile with the general release of its Android SDK. CEO Dave Otten characterized the Android launch as part of its “JW Everywhere” strategy, where publishers can configure a single video player, then trust that their videos will play on any device.

JW Player is an increasingly popular online video player. “With 80 per cent of end users coming from outside the United States, our data represents a truly global audience, and we’re proud to showcase the growth of our network and share these insights on the online video industry as a whole, ” said Dave Otten, CEO of JW Player.

As part of a strategic move to manage costs and adapt to changes in audience behavior, Dish Network is preparing to remove a number of channels, including CNN, from its offering. JW Player’s CEO, Dave Otten, weighed in on this growing trend, “It used to be that the TV was the only place where you could watch content, but that’s changing because of technology, and changing very quickly. This will put a lot of older cable channels at risk over time.”
