VOD Times is a premier independent digital media outlet founded in February 2020 by Simon Janvier. Our mission is to provide comprehensive, expert coverage of the global streaming landscape, delivering real-time news, release calendars, and in-depth guides for the world’s leading Video on Demand (VOD) platforms.
Our Story
Launched in early 2020, VOD Times was created to bridge the gap between streaming giants and viewers worldwide. As the digital entertainment market shifted toward a multi-platform ecosystem, founder Simon Janvier recognized the need for a centralized, independent source of information that covers more than just one service.
Since its inception, VOD Times has evolved into a trusted resource for millions of English-speaking cord-cutters. We track the rapid expansion of original content, technical platform updates, and the global availability of films and series across all major streaming territories.
