Taking PlayOn to the Next Level, Introducing the PlayOn Channel Store

Earlier this year, we launched the PlayDirect API to give developers the power to create their own PlayOn channels. Developers began adding channels in a frenzy, with top-tier content such as the Food Network, Disney Channel Live, Lifetime, TVLand, and a myriad of new channels to enjoy. When we launched the API, we promised “phase two” was coming – and now its time.

PlayOn users can now access the new channels created by our developers with the launch of the PlayOn Channel Store. The store gives consumers the first way to create a free, fully-customized channel lineup, unique to their own tastes. The PlayOn Channel store makes it easier than ever for PlayOn and PlayLater customers to find and install additional channels. Meanwhile, developers using the PlayDirect API are also enabled to reach a much wider audience.

While PlayOn already boasts over 25 channels including Netflix, Hulu, MTV, TBS, Pandora, YouTube, Comedy Central, CBS, ESPN, ESPN3, [adult swim], Spike, Nick, BET, Amazon, and PBS – users can now access The WB, TVLand, WSJ, and Bravo! Soon, users will be able to access nearly anything available online, only limited by how quickly developers can make new channels available.
