Frankly's second win involved WENY-TV, a CBS and ABC affiliate and a Frankly customer since 2013. The Lilly Broadcasting-owned and -operated TV station signed a three-year agreement with Frankly in order to expand its CMS capabilities, generate innovative advertising and local revenue-producing opportunities, and explore potential usages of over-the-top (OTT) and mobile apps. The agreement expands on Frankly's current relationship with Lilly Broadcasting, which also includes agreements with the broadcaster's other local TV stations, WICU-TV/WSEE and KITV; and Frankly's video solution power the live streaming and OTT platform for Lilly's One Caribbean Television network.

Frankly also secured wins with NBC affiliate WJFW-TV and FOX affiliate KAYU-TV.
