Project Aurora · The Future
The Future
Starts Here.
A phased, achievable roadmap that takes Regal TV UK from a broadcast channel to a global African media platform — one deliberate step at a time.
The thesis
The audience is already global. The platform should be too.
Two point four million people already watch Regal every month. They watch on television, but increasingly on phones, tablets and connected TVs, in twenty-eight countries and eleven time zones.
Project Aurora builds the platform that audience already behaves as though we have.
Digital transformation
Seven phases, one direction
Website
A cinematic, accessible flagship site — the front door to everything Regal makes.
Streaming
The live channel, streamed in 4K to any browser, anywhere.
Video On Demand
The full catalogue, searchable, personalised and ad-free for members.
Mobile Apps
iOS and Android, with downloads for the commute and the long-haul flight.
Smart TV
Native apps on Samsung, LG, Roku and Fire TV — back on the biggest screen.
AI Assistant
Aurora: conversational discovery, personalised schedules and instant translation.
Global Media Platform
One identity, one library, one audience — Africa's stories on the world's stage.
The ecosystem
Everything connected to everything
Fourteen products, one platform. Each one feeds the next: the festival fills the library, the library funds the commissions, the commissions grow the audience, the audience attracts the partners.
