ITV teams with Samsung to offer ITV Player app on Android
ITV has announced a partnership with Samsung which will offer the new ITV Player app on Android devices.
The ITV Player app will be available on a range of Samsung Android tablet and smartphone devices, including the new Galaxy S4, the Galaxy Note 8.0 and the Galaxy Mega, as well as being optimised for the Galaxy S III, Galaxy SII, Galaxy Note II, Note and Galaxy Note 10.1.
Simon Stanford, vice president of IM division at Samsung UK and Ireland, said: “At Samsung, we are committed to providing our customers with the latest range of content and apps. People are increasingly watching programmes on their way to work, between meetings or on holiday, and this partnership means they can now catch up on their favourite ITV programmes on our devices wherever and whenever they choose.”
James Micklethwait, online product director, added: “We are very excited to have launched the new ITV Player app on Samsung devices. The fragmentation of the Android ecosystem is well known therefore, as a commercial broadcaster, it makes sense for us to partner with the leading manufacturer of Android devices to further increase our technical knowledge of the operating system. We plan to launch the app onto other Android devices in the future.”
The ITV Player app is available now, and is free of charge to download from the Google Play Store and Samsung Apps.
