Vienna, Austria, July 24, 2025 – Bitmovin, a global leader in video streaming infrastructure, today announced that RMC BFM Group, one of France’s largest private media companies, has selected Bitmovin’s Player to unify and optimize its video playback experience across its digital platforms. The Player will be deployed via AWS Marketplace, accelerating integration in line with RMC BFM’s cloud first-strategy.

As part of a broader digital transformation, RMC BFM Group needed a flexible, high-performance solution that could work effortlessly across a complex ecosystem of playback technologies.

Bitmovin has proven to be a reliable and forward-thinking technology partner, well attuned to the challenges of modern video delivery.”

The deployment of Bitmovin’s Playback solution is already underway, with a launch scheduled for January 2026. The solution was selected following a detailed proof-of-concept process, where Bitmovin’s responsiveness and deep understanding of both cross-platform streaming challenges and the nuances of the French media landscape played a key role in RMC BFM’s decision.

“We’re proud to support RMC BFM’s mission to deliver high-quality news and entertainment content to audiences across France,” said Stefan Lederer, CEO and Co-Founder of Bitmovin. “Our player was built to solve the exact challenges RMC BFM is addressing, delivering consistent, flexible, and scalable playback across a diverse range of platforms and integrations.”
