Filmhub is iterating on producer transparency while quietly repositioning Relay back into a marketing surface.

film distributionproducer transparencystreamingcreator economycaptionsinsights
◆Current state
Filmhub spent 2025 expanding producer transparency — Updates feed, Apple TV and Amazon Insights, performance widgets on the dashboard — and launched Relay in August 2025 as a consumer-facing streaming companion. By March 2026 the 'Relay Page' has been renamed 'Promo Page' and pulled back onto Filmhub.com, suggesting the consumer brand is being de-emphasized in favor of a unified producer-marketing surface. Caption ordering for episodes and a more navigable home page round out a steady producer-experience cadence.
◆Where it's heading
The producer-transparency thesis (data, notifications, marketing tools all in one dashboard) is intact and accelerating. Relay's repositioning is the more interesting signal — what was framed in August as a separate consumer-facing brand has, by spring, folded back into Filmhub.com proper. Either Relay is being absorbed into the Filmhub umbrella, or the consumer-facing version is being deprioritized in favor of using Relay tech to power filmmaker promo pages.
◆Prediction
Watch for Relay to either get a fresh standalone push (with Apple TV / Roku app announcements) or quietly fade into a feature label. The Promo Page rename suggests the latter is more likely. Captions for episodes will likely expand to non-English options to widen distribution reach.

    Get estimates direct to your home page

    Performance widget on the dashboard home shows six months of gross estimates and earnings on login, removing a navigation step for the most-asked-for data. Continues the producer-transparency push that has set the pace through 2025.

    Amazon Insights Update

    Realignment of Amazon Insights to match upstream Amazon data changes — Ad Impressions chart and Region panel removed because Amazon stopped providing them. Maintenance, not a Filmhub-driven change.

    Meet Relay, the streaming platform that connects you directly with your audience

    ⚡ SPARK

    Relay's August 2025 launch was the directional bet — a consumer-facing streaming platform from Filmhub's team, framed as direct producer-to-audience connection. The March 2026 Promo Page rename suggests the consumer ambitions may already be narrowing.
