About MediaBlaster

Built to help creators own the platform behind their content.

MediaBlaster turns WordPress into the control center for a modern media platform. It gives creators, publishers, organizations, and agencies a practical way to organize video and podcasts, build streaming-style experiences, and power branded websites and apps without surrendering control of their content platform.

Origin story

From WP Smart TV to MediaBlaster

MediaBlaster grew out of WP Smart TV, a WordPress plugin created to help publishers organize video content and connect it to Roku channels.

The streaming industry changed. Roku Direct Publisher was discontinued, app requirements became more demanding, and creators needed more than a single-purpose video feed. But the underlying problem never went away: independent publishers still needed an affordable way to manage their content and build media experiences they could control.

MediaBlaster is the next evolution of that original idea.

Instead of treating WordPress as only a website builder, MediaBlaster turns it into a structured media backend. Content can be managed once and used across a WordPress website, a headless frontend, a podcast feed, a custom integration, or a connected app.

Product philosophy

Ownership, simplicity, control, and community

MediaBlaster is built around a straightforward belief: creators should be able to build on their own content library instead of repeatedly starting over inside disconnected platforms.

WordPress remains the central source of truth. Publishers decide where their media is hosted, how it is presented, which applications use it, and how the platform grows.

A creator might begin with a simple video library. Later, that same content can support podcasts, memberships, a headless website, client integrations, or a Roku channel without rebuilding the entire catalog.

Ownership

Build on a platform and content library you control.

Simplicity

Make advanced media publishing approachable.

Control

Choose your hosting, presentation, integrations, and direction.

Community

Learn alongside other creators, agencies, and builders.
