Delivering the Impossible: How Tape Ark Exceeded Expectations for Curiosity Stream and Winnercomm
At Tape Ark, we believe that exceptional results are born from a mix of cutting-edge technology, unwavering commitment, and a deep understanding of what our clients need—often before they even say it. Recently, we had the privilege of working with two powerhouse media organizations: Curiosity Stream and Winnercomm. Their testimonials reflect our mission in action—and we’re proud to share their stories.
A Mission-Critical Project Delivered Ahead of Schedule
Tim Cremin, President & GM of Outdoor Sports Group Programming and Production at Winnercomm, came to Tape Ark with a large, time-sensitive project that required working closely with hyperscale cloud provider, Amazon Web Services, to turn around the job rapidly. As one of the largest independently owned sports production companies in the U.S., Winnercomm produces over 1,000 hours of content each year for major networks—including Curiosity Stream. Tim’s expectations were understandably high, and the stakes even higher.
“The Tape Ark team took a large, time-sensitive project for us and completed it ahead of schedule. Their capabilities are amazing and they accomplished a task I wasn’t sure would even be possible.”
— Tim Cremin, President & GM, OSG Programming and Production at Winnercomm
From sports broadcasting to live production logistics, Winnercomm thrives on tight deadlines. That’s why Tim’s team needed a partner who could move fast, maintain absolute precision, and ensure data integrity at every step. The result? A flawless delivery—before the deadline—and a partnership built on trust and proven performance.
A++ Service and Seamless Execution for Curiosity Stream
Mike Smith, SVP of Operations at Curiosity Stream, echoed the same sentiment of excellence. With a global reputation for delivering high-quality, factual content, Curiosity Stream relies on partners who can handle their legacy content with the highest level of care and professionalism.
“Tape Ark gets an A++ from me. I don’t have any suggestions on how Tape Ark can make improvements because the whole project went perfectly according to plan. The communication was above and beyond any standard that I have experienced with any vendor in the past.”
— Mike Smith, SVP of Operations, Curiosity Stream Inc.
From rapid tape drop-offs to transparent, proactive communication, our team ensured every detail was managed with precision. Our technical expertise, honed through years of working with massive archival collections, provided the assurance Mike and his team needed. And just like with Winnercomm, the project was not just completed—it was completed ahead of schedule.
“The Tape Ark teams’ knowledge and expertise were next-level and gave me full confidence that our project would be a success and finish ahead of schedule.”
The Power of Partnership
It’s been a genuine pleasure to collaborate with the extended team at Curiosity Stream and help them unlock the full value of their legacy content. Whether it’s sports footage or scientific documentaries, our mission remains the same: empower content-driven organizations to protect, preserve, and profit from their archives.
At Tape Ark, we don’t just transfer data—we enable transformation. These testimonials remind us why we do what we do and inspire us to raise the bar even higher.
