Al Jazeera English will now offer its content on Opera TV’s network of over-the-top (OTT) partners, through a newly developed app using Opera TV’s Snap technology. The channel can be accessed worldwide through the app.
Opera TVs network of OTT partners enables publishers of online video to reach new audiences on millions of Smart TV devices. The Al Jazeera English TV Snap app will include live streaming, video clips from latest news and full episodic content with multi-tier category navigation for easy access. The app will join the Opera TV content portfolio for Smart TVs, set-top boxes and Blu-ray disc players from leading pay-TV operators and manufacturers including Sony, Samsung and TiVo.
Commenting on the partnership, Daniel Nordberg, VP Content Acquisition for Opera TV, said: The challenge broadcasters face today to deploy Smart TV apps due to the platform fragmentation can be time consuming and costly. In our conversations with Al Jazeera, it was clear our latest Opera TV Snap would address the challenges and provide a robust, future-proof solution that can be deployed on millions of devices immediately. We are excited to bring such a leading, prestigious news outlet as Al Jazeera to Opera TV and that we made it possible for them with the Opera TV Snap innovation.
Abdulla Al Najjar, Al Jazeeras Executive Director of Global Brand and Communications, added:
We are very excited to announce the launch of the Al Jazeera English app on Opera TV Snap. As a network, we are committed to expanding onto new platforms and look forward to increasing the reach of our ground-breaking content on a global level.
