Revry, the first global LGBTQ+ streaming network, has made a deal with Comcast that sees it being added to the Xfinity X1 service later this month.<\/p>\n
Revry offers a mix of films, series, music, podcasts and originals, and the network\u2019s availability on X1 will bolster its reach to over 50 million viewers across multiple platforms.<\/p>\n
When the network launches, X1 customers will be able to subscribe to the service by saying \u201cRevry\u201d into their X1 voice remote. Viewers can also say \u201cPride\u201d or \u201cLGBTQ\u201d to access X1\u2019s broader LGBTQ+ Film and TV on-demand destination, the first in-home entertainment experience that features a complete library of LGBTQ+ stories, entertainment and content.<\/p>\n
Xfinity X1 customers will be able to add Revry to their service for $6.99 per month.<\/p>\n
\u201cLaunching on X1 will be a game changer and allow Revry to bring more authentic LGBTQ+ stories and content to millions more homes in the U.S.,\u201d said Revry CEO Damian Pelliccione. \u201cOur dream of becoming easily accessible to people who need to hear these stories from around the world is one step closer to becoming a reality!\u201d<\/p>\n
