New Upgraded Apps Deliver Songs, Shows and Podcasts in Personalized Dashboard to Over 90 Million Consumers in United States and Canada

LiveXLive Media, Inc., a global platform for live stream and on-demand audio, video and podcast content in music, comedy and pop culture, announced today that it has released a new unified audio-video Smart TV app experience on Samsung TV, Apple TV and Roku, with Amazon Fire soon to follow. Reaching an estimated 90 million monthly active users though such distribution platforms, and nearly 100% of the total addressable market, LiveXLive’s new Smart TV app offering provides music fans in the United States and Canada with a one-stop destination for listening to and watching music and pop culture entertainment. LiveXLive’s new personalized and interactive user experience comes largely as a result of audience-demand. LiveXLive’s OTT channels have also seen an 8% lift in viewership further demonstrating the audience’s appetite for more LiveXLive content.

“Our audience has been clamoring for this functionality and few in the market deliver a truly unified experience like this,” said Robert Ellin, Chairman and CEO of LiveXLive. “This is an opportunity for us to create dominance in this arena and as Smart TV ad delivery for audio and video formats improves, we’ll be well-positioned to capitalize on that inventory opportunity long term.”
