Overview: Modernizing Media Revenue Operations at Scale

Outdoor Channel, the largest outdoor lifestyle network in the U.S., delivers premium HD content on hunting, fishing, and conservation to broadband and mobile audiences nationwide. As part of the Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE) media group, Outdoor Channel faced increasing complexity managing affiliate revenue across multiple network properties.

Brandy Spickerman, Director of Subscriber and Revenue Management, and her team sought a next-gen financial operations platform that could replace fragmented tools, streamline workflows, and provide a single source of truth for affiliate revenue insights.

The Challenge: Legacy Tools and Limited Visibility

For over two decades, KSE networks relied on a third-party, on-premise solution requiring constant IT oversight, version management, and siloed data environments. Each KSE network—Outdoor Channel included—ran separate financial instances, making it hard to visualize affiliate performance across properties.

“With every software platform you use, you find workarounds. But with our old database, there were a lot.”
— Brandy Spickerman, Director of Subscriber and Revenue Management

The team needed:

• A centralized platform for multi-network revenue management

• Greater visibility across MVPD and distributor relationships

• Support for managed services to reduce internal burden

• An intuitive interface tailored to the workflows of daily finance operations

Brandy and the team selected Revedia for its:

• Unified dashboard to manage multiple networks and affiliate streams

“SymphonyAI Media made us feel special in the beginning and that hasn’t changed since. As a customer, we can pick up the phone and talk to someone.”
