Clint Stinchcomb
CEO, CuriosityStream
Leading the first documentary streaming TV channel – with 20 million subscribers in 176 countries
Clint Stinchcomb is president and chief executive of Curiosity Stream. Founded in 2015, with 20 million subscribers in 176 countries, it was the first streaming service to focus on non-fiction content; encompassing genres such as nature, history, science and travel. A TV industry veteran, he previously developed and ran channels for the Discovery Network; and co-founded PokerCentral, the world’s first 24/7 global online poker game. In this in-depth interview, Clint shares his “pure factual entertainment” strategy – creating a “distinctive, focussed service” and not “diluting the offer” into non-factual genres; details the differing viewing habits around the world and how they keep their content relevant to a global audience; and reflects on a long career in TV, including creating new on-demand TV channels at Discovery – which pioneered the modern broadcast era.
