What We Do

Our co-founders used to work in the big pay-TV world. They knew the programming challenges providers faced and knew the cost challenges customers faced with traditional cable and satellite. They asked the question, what if we could provide quality programming to an underserved market at an affordable price?

And so, Frndly TV was born.

We saw an opportunity to provide programming to an audience who was being left behind and priced out. So, our mission at Frndly TV is to provide you, our customer, with feel-good programming and friendly service, and an even friendlier price.

We aren’t backed by big corporate money. We have built our own successful, American-run business based in Denver, Colorado.

Now you don’t have to pay an arm and a leg for the channels you want. You don’t have to worry about complex pricing tiers or hidden fees. We’re bringing affordable, live TV to families across the heart of America. Welcome to Frndly TV!

Why Work With Us

At Frndly TV we have a shared drive to succeed and strive to WIN! We are CURIOUS, constantly learning and tackling projects in a creative and unique manner. We approach all challenges with INTEGRITY and as a TEAM and celebrate in our joint success. Every day we are NIMBLE in our fast-moving environment, loving and embracing all changes!
