Ranker App will feature several channels of original video series on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, & Android TV devices

PRESS RELEASE: Ranker, known as the world’s leading destination for fan-powered rankings on just about everything, has announced the official launch of its OTT app showcasing Ranker’s trending, creepy, and just plain weird video content. The free app is available on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Android TV devices.

Ranker’s mission is to catalog and cover the world’s opinions with voter-curated rankings and original content, on thousands of topics, from current events, to pop culture — from the weird and scary, to the incredible niche. With Ranker’s ability to keep a finger on the pulse of the people, the app delivers unique and entertaining videos that surprise and educate.

“For the last 10 years we’ve been known as the web’s source to read definitive rankings, but many people also love to consume lists via video,” said Clark Benson, CEO, and Founder of Ranker. “The Ranker OTT app is key to reaching additional audiences in new ways.”

The Ranker app features thought-provoking video channels for everyone:

  • Rankworthy: a deep dive into everything from fan theories, nostalgia, and rankings of nearly any topic you can think of, ranked by real fans on Ranker.com.
  • Crowd Wisdom: hit pop-culture video series where celebrities rank their top 5’s, then compare their rankings to the wisdom of the crowd on Ranker. 
  • Deadtime Stories: a fan-submitted, animated horror story series on the supernatural, creepy, and macabre hosted by DeadHead, a friendly (and frightening) skeleton. 
  • Weird History: for the extreme, the unexpected, the untold, and the flat-out weird parts of history you never learned in school. 
  • Weirdly Interesting: interesting and surprising facts about human behavior, health, science, and self-awareness.

“We’re excited about getting this video content into people’s homes,” said Bill Jeffries, Chief Strategy Officer. “Over the last year, we’ve bolstered our video capabilities with an in-house Ranker studio, contributing to increased production and a successful series on SnapChat Discover.”
