Cheddar is post-cable TV network using modern cloud-based infrastructure to shoot, live switch, and stream the network. It will delivered over the top (OTT) on phones and connected televisions through distribution partnerships under active negotiation. Cheddar is for people in their 20s and 30s, who don’t have cable TV and don’t want cable TV. Cheddar will be ad free but utilize innovative product placements in fashion, food, and technology.
