London, 30 May, 2013 - TP Vision is announcing a new partnership with the premium music video platform MUZU.TV which will see the service join as part of the company's extensive Smart TV feature.
The MUZU.TV App will be rolled out to all of the Philips 2013 Smart TV range by the end of May.
MUZU.TV is the clear market leader for music videos with the largest legal online catalogue featuring over 130,000 titles from all four major record companies and all the leading independent labels.
Content includes concerts, music videos, interviews, music documentaries and more
The inclusion of MUZU.TV is a further example of TP Vision's continued and ongoing investment in the company's Smart TV service and functionality.
The partnership with Muzu.TV is also part of TP Vision's overall Smart TV policy to focus on ensuring the most relevant Apps are available to TV viewers rather than just attempting to provide the maximum number of Apps possible.
As part of that policy the company is focusing on catch-up TV plus movie and video download services, as by far the most popular features on Smart TV platforms.
Commenting on the partnership with MUZU.TV, Head of Smart TV, TP Vision Albert Mombarg said: ‘Our focus with Smart TV is on offering the most useful and relevant Apps. MUZU.TV is the leading Music Video service and is hugely popular online and represents an important addition to our Smart TV platform.
Ciaran Bollard, CEO and Co-Founder of MUZU.TV commented ‘TP Vision and Philips Smart TVs bring exceptional picture quality and great user interface to the Smart TV market. Their platform provides the perfect environment to experience the MUZU.TV app and further extends our position as the preferred music video app of choice for consumers and manufacturers. We have experienced some amazing growth on Smart TV and gaming consoles with millions of downloads and streams per month'
