About us
InFlow Media was founded in 1988 as Universum AS. We started out in a basement in the outskirts of Oslo producing basic TV listings for print publications and magazines, and ventured into the very first versions of EPG metadata in the early 90s.
The 2000s saw the advent of time-shift viewing, PVRs and VOD, and we played a key role in developing the necessary metadata features to support this kind of functionality.
Since then content availability has exploded, linear and non-linear content has fused together, broadcasters have become distributors and distributors have become broadcasters, numerous OTT players have seen the light of day and become global giants, and metadata has become an increasingly important component in the operators’ offerings.
We believe that metadata has never been more important than it is today as it helps consumers navigate the content jungle, it drives viewership and it is a key enabler in enhancing the customer experience.
In 2019 Universum AS merged with Ritzaus Medieservice in Denmark and InFlow Media was born. InFlow Media is owned 50/50 by Norsk Telegrambyrå AS and Ritzaus Bureau A/S.
Today InFlow Media has 35 employees spread across offices in Oslo and Copenhagen and we successfully cater to the needs of some of Europe’s biggest media brands.
