TG4 Launches New Smart TV App
19 Aug 2014 :
TG4, the multi-platform Irish language media service has announced the completion of three major phases in the implementation of its digital content distribution strategy.

TG4 has just launched a new Smart TV App, available and live on all major platforms - Samsung, Philips, Opera TV, Foxxum, Toshiba and Google TV. The apps have also been submitted for LG and Panasonic.

TG4 Technical Director, Neil Keaveney says the roll out of the Smart TV App is another reflection of TG4’s agility and commitment to adapting to new technologies to deliver the channel’s quality content to the audience.

Another major development sees the release of an updated and enhanced version of the TG4 Web-based Player, available through the browser tg4.tv on any device. Launched in 2002, it was Ireland’s first TV Player, created and produced by TG4’s in-house team. The new upgrade makes it possible for users to create their own personal playlist and will offer a continuous live stream of TG4 content worldwide (any rights-restricted content in the user’s region will be replaced seamlessly by other non-restricted TG4 content).

The third element of the latest TG4 smart move is the release of an updated and enhanced version of the TG4 Player App for iPad. This will be available free to download from the App store, worldwide, and will include access to the TG4 live stream as well as a catch up service for TG4 audiences. The TG4 player App is in addition to the 7 existing Irish language Apps developed by TG4 for the kids audience, making TG4 the main App developers for Irish language content.

TG4 Head of Output, Lís Ní Dhálaigh says that these latest developments are significant milestones on TG4’s digital path. “It is important that Irish language content is accessible to audiences worldwide, and our new services ensure TG4 programmes are available around the globe. It also ensures our home audiences can catch up or watch live any time, any place, across all major devices,” she said.

Viewers accessing TG4 content on the new platforms can enjoy a wide range of content in Documentary, Drama, Kids, Sport, News and Current Affairs, Music and Entertainment.
