Stingray Digital, an innovative Montreal-based media and technology company, announced today that it has acquired substantially all of the assets related to CONCERT TV from Interactivation of New York. With this acquisition, Stingray further enhances its offering of music-related services that already includes; Galaxie, a 45 linear channel digital music network, The KARAOKE Channel, available in 80 million homes, and Galaxie Music Videos on Demand.
CONCERT TV is a video on demand television service delivering recordings of live music performances and music related video programming. The content includes captivating live concert footage of current and classic musical artists of many genres. It is currently distributed throughout the US in nearly 30 million homes via leading Digital TV operators including Comcast, Charter, Cox, Verizon, DirectTV and many others.
“Our team has continued to strengthen CONCERT TV with added distribution and fine programming,” said Joe Covey, Interactivation’s CEO. “As our focus moving forward is exclusively on health, education and interactive programming, we wish Stingray well with this terrific asset.”
“CONCERT TV is a natural fit for Stingray Digital” says Eric Boyko, President of Stingray Digital. “Since its inception in 2003, CONCERT TV has grown to be recognized as an important brand that delivers compelling music content through video on demand services of Digital Television Providers. The service is a perfect complement to our widely distributed VOD service The KARAOKE Channel and Galaxie Music Videos on Demand, and is an ideal complement to Galaxie, our linear music service” he added.
Stingray Digital plans on continuing the distribution of CONCERT TV on VOD in the US, and will offer the service to its cable, satellite and IPTV distributors in Canada.
