Narrative Entertainment Taps NAGRAVISION's OpenTV ENTera

NAGRAVISION, a Kudelski Group (SIX:KUD.S) company and a leading independent provider of content protection and media and entertainment solutions, has announced a partnership with Narrative Entertainment, one of the UK's leading independent broadcasters and streaming media companies, to enhance its streaming services using OpenTV ENTera, the cloud-native platform for content discovery, personalisation and service orchestration.

As broadcasters look to build stronger direct relationships with audiences, understanding viewer behaviour, preferences and engagement has become essential. With OpenTV ENTera, Narrative Entertainment is developing a more unified audience engagement approach across its digital services by strengthening first-party viewer data through richer profiles and advanced content discovery. This is designed to deliver more relevant, personalised and engaging experiences, increase loyalty and unlock greater value from advertising and monetisation initiatives.

In addition, by leveraging NAGRAVISION’s expertise in platform integration, certification and accreditation to simplify and de-risk onboarding to complex platforms, the solution will expand Narrative Entertainment’s reach across key connected TV and broadcast ecosystems, including YouView and Freeview.

"As we continue to evolve our digital services, our focus is on delivering highly relevant and engaging experiences while deepening our understanding of audience behaviour," said Kate Garland, head of digital at Narrative Entertainment. "NAGRAVISION's OpenTV ENTera enables us to unify data, personalisation and ecosystem innovation into a single platform. This ensures we can strengthen engagement today while creating a scalable foundation for long-term growth and monetization."

Unlike traditional single-stack approaches that can lock broadcasters into one technology stack, OpenTV ENTera lets operators integrate and manage best-of-breed solutions while maintaining a unified operational environment. This enables service providers to evolve streaming experiences more rapidly while combining the flexibility of an open ecosystem with the simplicity of a fully integrated solution.

OpenTV ENTera also unites a best-in-class ecosystem of technology partners within a single, integrated framework to streamline service evolution. For Narrative Entertainment, NAGRAVISION is working with Sofia Digital to deliver a user experience enhanced by advanced personalisation, audience management and platform services, providing a scalable foundation for future innovation.

NAGRAVISION will be at booth 1.C81 at the IBC show in Amsterdam from 11–14 September 2026.
