Mondo TV Launching Channel on Samsung TV Plus

Mondo TV is set to have its own dedicated channel on Samsung TV Plus, Samsung’s free ad-supported Smart TV video service, in Italy.

The dedicated channel, Mondo TV Kids, will launch on Samsung TV Plus on October 28. With the target audience of Italian children, it will be available 24 hours a day in Italian, with a daily segment in English to support and encourage kids who are learning English.

Users in Italy who can access Samsung TV Plus will now have access to such Mondo TV titles as Sissi the Young Empress and Invention Story. This marks the first thematic digital channel organized directly by Mondo TV and the beginning of a new project for the future business.

Matteo Corradi, president and CEO of Mondo TV, said: “Mondo TV is delighted to be part of the Samsung TV Plus service—a service that makes access to top shows easier and quicker. Samsung TV Plus is a marvelous showcase for our impressive library of TV and film shows, and a great way for fans of our many recent hits to access them for free.”

Richard Jakeman, European head of business development for smart TV at Samsung Electronics, said: “Mondo TV Kids offers a diverse selection of excellent kids programming from a leading name in children’s entertainment—and it’s soon to be available on our popular and easy-to-access Samsung TV Plus service in Italy. We are extremely excited that TV Plus is the first service to carry Mondo TV Kids channel.”
