DISH to Offer Pivot App

LOS ANGELES: DISH customers, who already have access to the PivotTV linear channel, can now watch the service through the DISH Anywhere platform and via the PivotTV app.

The Participant Media-owned channel was designed with the millennial generation in mind, delivering "entertainment that sparks conversation, inspires change and illuminates issues" via both a traditional linear channel and downloadable/streaming options. This is the second authenticated app deal for the channel, which has a similar agreement in place with DIRECTV.

Through the app, subscribers can watch the linear channel on Internet-connected devices, as well as stream on-demand offerings on computers, tablets and smart phones. Via the DISH Anywhere mobile app, consumers can view Pivot live, on-demand and DVR its content using Sling technology.
