February Statistics & Monthly Update
Here’s a look at our February numbers. We did see another slight uptick from January, which is a positive shift after several months of instability in the market. While overall revenue remains lower than in previous years, this improvement shows that conditions may be beginning to stabilize.
Our push to rebuild revenue through a stronger YouTube presence and more direct partnerships is already starting to pay off. These steps are helping cushion the impact of the wider market slowdown, and we’ll keep leaning into them as we move forward.
We’ll keep monitoring trends closely and stay focused on reaching new audiences, improving visibility, and creating additional income opportunities for everyone involved.
Here are the stats.

MUTV February Uptime Report
MUTV stayed live for 536 hours in February, that’s right at 80% uptime for the entire month!
Considering the storms, power flickers, and rural internet issues we deal with, we're proud of how solid the channel is running. Thanks to everyone who tunes in and supports the stream.
------------------------------------
*On Amazon (US), our overall watch minutes were down when compared to the previous month. This Month there were over 33 total watch hours. The overall watch time on Amazon is down from previous years, but no doubt it is due to the growth of free-to-watch services. So, the watch hours are holding fairly steady on Amazon. Amazon changed their Slate (self-publishing Platform) and, at this time, they are not accepting new account setups in the U.S., the UK, Germany & Austria, or Japan. Amazon is an important service for all filmmakers. Zombie Media will continue to present titles to Amazon to help ensure the success of filmmakers. In fact, we reach Amazon services and territories that were never available through Slate.
Mysteries Unlimited TV - This 24/7 live channel is a project of Zombie Media. We are proud to announce that some of our clients received payouts from the service for the month of February. Our hope is to continue to grow the channel, and that payouts will increase for everyone. MUTV officially launched in early November. We recently added over 50 hours of new content.
MUTV Streams original and classic content from the heart of the mountains. It showcases indie films, cryptid reviews, Appalachian storytelling, and More!
FearPix - More of our titles are now available on FearPix. FearPix is the ultimate destination for horror lovers and indie creators. Stream spine-chilling content, support underground voices, and help shape the future of horror. They have a YouTube presence and a downloadable app.

Changes at Tubi (

across the industry, and the shift toward prioritizing series over individual creators and distributors has been one of the most challenging adjustments.We’re working to offset these losses through expanded marketing efforts and several new ventures already underway. Our push into YouTube and direct partnerships is showing early signs of promise, and we expect these avenues to continue growing as we refine and expand them.
We also believe additional streaming services will step up to fill the gap left by recent platform changes, creating new opportunities for filmmakers to regain lost revenue. In the meantime, we strongly encourage all filmmakers and authors to continue self‑promoting and building their own visibility; it remains one of the most effective tools in today’s landscape.
Thanks for the support!
Let's Keep Pushing!
Let's Keep Working!
Let's make 2026 a BIG year!
