Electric Entertainment has hard-launched the OTT app and channel ElectricNOW, which will be available on all VIZIO SmartCast televisions through a new deal.<\/p>\n
Per the agreement, SmartCast users will have access to such Electric Entertainment-produced TV series as Leverage<\/em>, The Librarians<\/em> and The Outpost<\/em>, as well as acquired programming that includes the feature films Blood on the Crown<\/em> and Heavy<\/em>.<\/p>\n Dean Devlin, CEO of Electric Entertainment, said: \u201cWe soft-launched ElectricNOW in spring of 2020. The consumer feedback and corresponding viewership have been well beyond our expectations. We originally set out to create a hub where we could aggregate all of our various fan bases from Leverage<\/em>, The Librarians<\/em>, The Outpost<\/em>, Almost Paradise<\/em> and all of our podcast subscribers into a single space. Now with the app being available to this incredibly large consumer base via VIZIO SmartCast, we are reaching a much broader, more mainstream audience, picking up new fans along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n Chris Tanquary, director of business development and partnerships for VIZIO, said: \u201cWith the addition of ElectricNOW to SmartCast, we are continuing VIZIO\u2019s mission to provide our audiences with endless entertainment. ElectricNOW\u2019s hard launch is a great step in that effort and gives SmartCast users access to their exciting original and acquired content.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Electric Entertainment has hard-launched the OTT app and channel ElectricNOW, which will be available on all VIZIO SmartCast televisions through a new deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":10423,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2221,2420],"class_list":["post-10422","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-electric-entertainment","tag-vizio"],"yoast_head":"\n
