About
Philo is a live TV streaming service (OTT/MVPD) founded in 2010 by Andrew McCollum (a co-founder of Facebook) and headquartered in San Francisco, California. The company operates a budget-focused entertainment streaming platform that carries over 70 cable channels focused on entertainment, lifestyle, and reality programming — deliberately excluding sports, local news, and sports networks, which are the primary cost drivers in live TV packages. This content exclusion enables Philo to price its service significantly below cable replacements and sports-inclusive streaming competitors.
