Midnight Pulp

Midnight Pulp was launched separately in December 2014 by DMR. It preexisted CONtv's 2015 launch by several months. MP was acquired, along with the rest of DMR, by Cine in 2022. The e-mail snapshot from the Wayback Machine was the only thing I can find confirming the date of CONtv's rebrand as Midnight Pulp.

The rebrand was really a merger between the two streamers given their somewhat overlap in content, and the consolidation of Cineverse's various streaming platforms; the CONtv name (Nerd CONventions) was dropped in favor of the broader Midnight Pulp ("strange" films) branding. ~2026-45464-03 (talk) 17:35, 20 August 2026 (UTC)

I can still access their YouTube and Twitch. I just checked a few minutes ago.

None of these have the Midnight Pulp name. ~2026-46390-02 (talk) 00:31, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

It seems it's still up

I can still access their YouTube and Twitch pages, at least.

None of these have the Midnight Pulp name, and I don't see them changing it anytime soon. The oldest FreeMoviesByCONtv video is newer than the supposed rebrand. If they haven't changed it in 2 years, I don't think they're actually going to do it.

You could at least make it present tense again and update the note on the "rebrand" to say that it hasn't actually occured yet as of 2026. You can change the tense back if it ever does rebrand for real. ~2026-46390-02

The rebrand has happened. It is for real. Every other link to [CONtv] (Viewster, for example) redirects to Midnight Pulp, and the rest of CONtv's socials have been dead for years. That being said, it was a poorly-executed "rebrand" since, aside from the name change, CONtv currently co-exists with Midnight Pulp. ~2026-47548-16 (talk) 21:22, 1 September 2026 (UTC)
