Kerrang Radio is preparing to launch a new Smart TV app as part of a partnership with digital agency TBC.
Smart TVs are capable of connecting to the internet and downloading apps such as iPlayer or Sky Now, allowing for a consumer the experience very similar to that of a smart phone.
Kerrang’s offering will be previewed at the opening of the new Samsung Academy in Kidderminster, a new facility which will train up to 1000 16-18 year olds in the design and creation of apps for smart phone and smart TV devices.
TBC Digital Chairman Nick Brown said: “When my team at Sky was developing the Red Button we started the convergence of television and digital content. It is incredibly exciting to see interactive TV develop to the next level, especially with the opportunity for significant numbers of students learning to produce content for this medium.”
