JOURNY Acquires Select GoUSA TV Assets

NextTrip has acquired the travel streaming platform GoUSA TV and will integrate it into JOURNY, its own travel media network.

GoUSA TV historically reached an estimated 200 million viewers globally across connected TV, mobile applications and digital platforms. It suspended operations in September 2025 following U.S. federal budget cuts.

GoUSA will now serve as a U.S.-focused layer within NextTrip’s broader media-to-commerce ecosystem. The acquisition adds over a hundred hours of U.S. destination programming, including documentaries, travel series, culinary features and cultural storytelling, to JOURNY’s library.

Combined with JOURNY’s existing FAST, AVOD and digital distribution, GoUSA content becomes part of a multiplatform programming and monetization system that supports advertising and sponsorship revenue, destination marketing partnerships, creator-led and brand content and direct booking pathways through NextTrip’s commerce stack.

“With this transaction, we are not simply acquiring a content library; we are acquiring valuable content assets supported by an established global audience footprint and proven distribution infrastructure,” said Bill Kerby, founder, director and CEO of NextTrip. “As travel discovery continues to shift toward media-driven engagement, integrating the GoUSA platform and content into JOURNY enhances our ability to influence consumer intent earlier in the decision cycle and efficiently convert that demand through our booking and technology platforms, supporting scalable monetization over time.”

Ian Sharpe, chief operating officer of NextTrip Media, added, “The travel content market is shifting from passive viewing to participatory engagement. By combining GoUSA’s destination credibility with JOURNY’s creator-driven formats and NextTrip’s booking infrastructure, we are building a system where storytelling directly supports measurable travel outcomes.”
