In July 2015, BroadbandTV partnered with BMG, Bertelsmann's music publishing and rights subsidiary, to form Windfall - a joint venture promising up-and-coming music talents a comprehensive solution for producing, distributing and profiting from their content across a range of digital platforms.

In June 2015, BroadbandTV partnered with The Huffington Post to create a network of citizen video journalists called Outspeak. The new network combines BBTV’s 24.4 billion monthly views and The Huffington Post’s 214 million monthly unique visitors. Partners are eligible to have their content distributed across The Huffington Post’s site and YouTube channel and select creators will have the opportunity to develop their channels into original content series on Outspeak.
