That time is spent in standalone apps, after your reader, player or member leaves you. A drama tab gives them a reason to stay, and gives you a share of what they spend there.

Examples
One tab. Any audience.
A newspaper, a game store and a book community, each with a Drama tab. Same channel, programmed differently for each audience. Switch between them.
Readers finish an article and open the Drama tab instead of opening another app. The slate leans on workplace, revenge and second-chance romance for a news audience.

White-labelIn-app SDKExclusive titlesExtra languagesCustom genre mixHigher rev share
Less than a day of production. Every week.
Original video is expensive to make and slow to ship. A single day on a live-action set runs into five figures before anyone edits a frame. A Plot Party channel refreshes with new episodes every week for a fraction of that, because Plot Party runs the studio software that makes the shows.
The plan fee covers programming and infrastructure. The revenue share is where the upside is. Both are on the first page of the agreement, not buried in it.
Not sure it fits your audience? Ask about a 30-day pilot at the starting price.

FAQ
Questions a buyer asks first.
How much can we earn?
It depends on how many visitors open the tab and how long they stay. The calculator above shows the math with adjustable assumptions. On the call we model it with your traffic and comparable channels.
Why isn't this free like an ad widget?
Because it isn't a widget. We program a slate for your audience and refresh it every week, review every title, and run monetization. The plan fee covers that work; the revenue share is where you make money.
Can we choose the shows?
Yes. You can require approval on every new title, pin favourites, exclude genres and set a rating cap. Most partners set the rules once and let the schedule run.
Is the content appropriate for our readers?
Every show is rated before release and reviewed by a person. Your rating cap and exclusions are enforced automatically. Nothing above your cap appears on your channel.
What does our team have to do each week?
Nothing. New episodes publish on schedule. If you turn on approval, someone on your side clicks approve on new titles; that's the whole job.
Who owns the audience data?
You do. We report aggregate viewing and revenue to you and use it to program your slate. We don't sell it or use it to target your visitors anywhere else.
Does it work inside our app, not just on the web?
Yes. The web channel works in any webview today. An SDK for native in-app embedding is available on custom plans.
How long does it take to launch?
About a week from signed agreement to live tab: two days to program the opening slate, a day for your review, and an hour of engineering on your side.
