RoseBerry Media launches Epis vertical video platform with repurposed BBC and Channel 4 shows

The Israeli media company says its new “epis” service is live on the App Store, Google Play, and its website, offering more than 100 reversioned titles across multiple genres, with additional releases planned.

RoseBerry Media has launched its new vertical video platform, Epis (styled “epis”), repurposing selected programming from BBC and Channel 4 for a mobile-first format, the company announced through media coverage published July 14.

According to the report, Epis is now available to users through Apple’s App Store and Google Play, as well as via a dedicated website, positioning the service as an alternative distribution channel for short-form viewing rather than a conventional streaming library.

The platform launched with “more than 100 titles,” spanning categories that include crime, drama, reality, dating, factual entertainment and documentaries, according to the coverage.

The move reflects a broader industry shift toward vertical video products designed for short sessions and algorithm-driven discovery, while also relying on established broadcasters’ programming libraries in a new presentation format.

The report says RoseBerry Media is also planning additional content releases, indicating it intends to roll out more than 25 further offerings after the initial launch.

RoseBerry’s plan places the BBC and Channel 4 content into a new ecosystem where viewers consume reversioned versions of shows, which can change how audiences encounter the material, including pacing, formatting and the viewing flow typical of vertical clips.

For broadcasters and rights holders, the model raises questions about audience reach, licensing and performance measures, but the coverage did not provide additional detail on terms or specific titles included in the initial rollout.

Epis’ immediate availability across major app platforms and the company’s stated expansion plan suggest a rapid push to build a larger catalog and a steady cadence of releases for vertical viewing, with the next additions expected to follow the initial catalog described in the report.

Why It Matters

  • The launch broadens how major broadcasters’ programming can be distributed and consumed, shifting established titles into a mobile-first vertical format.
  • With Epis available immediately on both iOS and Android plus a web destination, the platform can reach audiences through multiple access points beyond traditional streaming apps.
  • A catalog starting at more than 100 titles suggests RoseBerry is prioritizing early library depth and genre variety to keep users engaged.
  • The planned addition of more than 25 releases indicates the company intends to increase content volume quickly, which may affect content licensing negotiations and budgeting for rights holders over time.
  • Because the report describes repurposed broadcaster shows rather than newly produced series, the rollout highlights how existing IP can be monetized and reformatted for changing viewing habits.
