Wuaki.tv streaming service launches on Panasonic Smart TVs
Editor | 25-10-2013
Only weeks after launching in the UK, Wuaki.tv has inked a deal with Panasonic to make its streaming service available on the CE giant's smart TVs.
Wuaki.tv believes a seamless integration with smart TVs is essential for the UK market and cites the statistic that over 70% of users in the company's home market of Spain watch movies and TV shows through a smart TV.
It will now offer a catalogue of films and TV shows directly through a dedicated app on a Panasonic TV, allowing users to choose between rental and purchase of the latest blockbuster movies and TV shows and an unlimited monthly streaming subscription, Wuaki.tv Selection. Updated on a weekly basis, this provides access to thousands of hours of films and TV shows from both Hollywood Studios and UK distributors
"Since we started Wuaki.tv in 2009 there's been a upswing in the number of Smart TVs in the living room, and for Wuaki.tv traffic from these is far outstripping tablets and laptops" commented Jacinto Roca, founder and CEO of Wuaki.tv.
"Over 70% of our users in Spain regularly stream movies and TV shows to a smart TV, and we're going to see the same in the UK. This is why we're expanding our smart TV footprint in the UK. Many of these users may also watch Wuaki.tv 'on the go' on a tablet, or in another room through their games console or laptop. That said, we see a strong trend of people being fully comfortable watching TV on-demand in place of traditional scheduled TV. That's where the biggest growth will be in the immediate future."
The Panasonic Smart TV app joins Wuaki.tv's existing range of tablets apps for iPad, Android and Kobo connected devices, the Xbox LIVE service and additional smart TV brands. Wuaki.tv says it will soon be adding more connected TV apps, aiming to make the service available to all smart TV users.
