About StreamGuys

Who We Are

In 2000, StreamGuys began; two guys, a laptop, two cats and a fig tree. We came to answer the call; broadcasters needed help finding quality and affordable streaming providers.

In steps StreamGuys; we set out to build the best streaming company possible. We knew that as in any service industry customer support would be a pillar of our company. So we staffed StreamGuys with the friendliest and most professional people possible, experienced leaders with a vision for the future.

We knew that our broadcasters needed to make a profit from their streaming media. So we offered services that broadcasters could afford, and more importantly, generate revenue from. We knew that quality of service is all important in a 24/7 industry, so we built a better streaming network by working with the best people and companies in the industry.

Affordable, Reliable, Scalable became our mantra; a rallying cry we chant loudly.

StreamGuys are friendly and expert professionals here to help your business succeed. We exist to provide you with the experience, tools, and resources to successfully plan, promote, and deliver successful IP media for large and small businesses.

....Oh yeah, the fig tree's getting fatter, and the cats are too.

StreamGuys' willingness to take us on when we were a fledging organization with tiny streaming needs allowed us to get started and grow into an online archive nearly 3,000 items strong.

- David Stafford
New Media Director, WWOZ(FM)
I have always thought of StreamGuys as more of a partner than just another company I work with. They provide outstanding customer service and a willingness to find solutions to obstacles. StreamGuys has also offered flexible, affordable services to meet my changing bandwidth needs over the years, and they have been receptive and responsive to my requests regarding capabilities of the HTML5 player.
- David Nevue
President, Whisperings Solo Piano Radio
The difference with StreamGuys is that they are not forcing us into one business model for streaming services. They instead provide us with the streaming services that are right for our model, and deliver the ongoing recommendations, support and troubleshooting we need. That helps us keep costs low and leaves us to focus on program content and customer relationships — which is what we do best.
- Dave Rahn
President, CustomChannels
We have a strong sense of place and love the music we play. We’re passionate about sharing this with the rest of the world, and StreamGuys helped us increase online listenership with the reliability of its global infrastructure.

Our online audience has increased more than tenfold since migrating to the StreamGuys platform. StreamGuys remains flexible in pricing, building new and economical streaming packages when applicable to meet our evolving needs.
- Matt Martin
General Manager, KALW(FM)
We wanted the Monterey Jazz Festival stream to resemble a TV special with a professional, multi-camera shoot. We had the venue, the performers, the production team and the media partners, but no one to deliver it to the world. It was important for us to partner with a company like StreamGuys that had the experience.
- Timothy Orr
Marketing Associate, Monterey Jazz Festival
Working with a streaming media provider/CDN has enhanced our ability to produce a high-quality live video stream. They are always available for testing prior to events, and also assist us when streaming live events from remote locations like the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Princeton University and the Borough of Manhattan Community College among other sites. It has made for an ideal partnership between broadcaster, video producer and streaming media provider.
Whitehorse Productions
StreamGuys built a plan that brings multiple elements at a very affordable price, including my website, archive storage and access, live video streaming bandwidth and administrative aspects.
