The 2024 Streaming Media Readers' Choice Awards Finalists

Article Featured Image

We've counted all the votes in the 2024 Streaming Media Readers' Choice Awards, and today we're announcing the finalists—the top three vote-getters in each of our 17 categories. The Readers' Choice Awards program recognizes our readers' selections for the industry's top products from companies based outside of Europe. Check out the 2024 Streaming Media Innovation Awards to see who readers of Streaming Media Global chose as the top products from European tech companies.

This year’s awards brought in more than 100 nominees, which were then voted on by StreamingMedia.com readers. More than 1,200 readers cast more than 9,000 votes in 17 categories. After discarding votes from obviously phony email addresses, as well as votes by employees casting ballots for their own companies' products, we identified the top three vote-getters in each category. Many of the names are familiar, even expected, but you'll find more than a few surprises in the list that follows. And if you're surprised that a company isn't represented, well, all we can say is that it either wasn't nominated or didn't get enough votes.

We'll announce the winners in the November/December issue of Streaming Media magazine.

If you'd like to see what companies took home the Streaming Media Readers' Choice Award in 2023, look to our list of winners.
