MONTREAL – Stingray Digital said yesterday it has acquired Concert TV from Interactivation of New York.
Stingray owns and operates music service Galaxie, a 45 linear channel digital music network, The Karaoke Channel, 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 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 others.
“Our team has continued to strengthen Concert TV with added distribution and fine programming,” said Joe Covey, Interactivation’s CEO, in a release. "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" added Eric Boyko, president of Stingray Digital.
Stingray 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.
