Emmy® Award Winning Platform Able Channel is Powered by LinqTV

Able Channel isn’t just another streaming service, it’s a platform empowered by hope, humanity, going a notch above healthcare edutainment. Founded by Paul Goggin and Brian McCourt, Able Channel isn’t just another streaming platform—it’s a movement to make people healthier through stories that inform, inspire, and empower.

From compelling documentaries on mental health and disability to deeply personal narratives about cancer, aging, and wellness, Able Channel has redefined what healthcare storytelling looks like on screen. And now, their groundbreaking content has earned the recognition it deserves — winning a 2025 Emmy® Award for “Forgetting 9/11: The John Crittenden Story” in the Human Interest-Long Form Content Category.

When Paul and Brian set out to build Able Channel, their goal was clear — to create a one-of-a-kind dedicated healthcare streaming service that brings together credible medical information, expert insights, and stories of the human spirit.

But turning that vision into a full-fledged OTT platform required a reliable, secure, and scalable technology partner. That’s where LinqTV came in. LinqTV handheld Able Channel in their journey towards creating a visually appealing and scalable OTT platform that reflected their vision of showcasing meaningful content to a global audience.

Since 2017, Able Channel has been powered by LinqTV One, running across web, Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV apps. Using LinqTV One’s end-to-end no-code video streaming platform, Able Channel quickly launched a multi-device experience without the need for heavy in-house development or external tech teams.

Key LinqTV features that supported their Emmy®-Award Winning content journey include:

With LinqTV’s secure and scalable infrastructure, Able Channel could focus on what mattered most — storytelling that changes lives. The rest of the tech was taken care of by LinqTV’s team.

The result is something that we all know by now – winning a 2025 Emmy® Award for “Forgetting 9/11: The John Crittenden Story”.

When Paul Goggin and Brian McCourt founded Able Channel, their vision was to create a streaming platform that made health information not only accessible, but also trustworthy, and emotionally resonant. They wanted viewers to not just watch stories, but to feel them — and, in doing so, change the way people perceive healthcare and wellness.

However, turning this purpose-driven idea into a full-scale streaming service wasn’t simple. The team faced several key challenges like technical complexities like building a high quality and scalable platform, launching across multiple app ecosystems, managing infrastructure, updates, and user growth as well as content security. That’s when Able Channel chose LinqTV — an all-in-one OTT platform that allowed them to focus on storytelling instead of technology.

With LinqTV’s no-code infrastructure, the team quickly launched a secure, fully branded streaming service across multiple devices. LinqTV handled everything end-to
