This will be a\u00a0one-stop-shop\u00a0to find all the content we make and distribute. Unlike larger studios, we have been fortunate to have nurtured a direct relationship with our audience through social media, personal appearances and electronic communication. This app gives us a central platform to show them how much we enjoy and treasure that relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n Electric has partnered with OTTera to create and maintain the\u00a0aPP.<\/p>\n \u201cOTTera has been a tremendous partner for us. Their expertise and enthusiasm helped us not only get where we wanted to go but got us there extremely quickly,\u201d added Devlin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Electric Entertainment has launched its OTT Electric Now app, a linear and on-demand streaming video channel offering feature films and series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":9906,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2221,2222],"class_list":["post-9905","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-electric-entertainment","tag-electric-now"],"yoast_head":"\n
