sntv launches samsung smart tv app
sntv, the world’s number one sports video news agency, announced today that it will provide various sport news content for a new Video On Demand (VOD) sports news app for Samsung’s latest Smart TV models 2012/2013. The app has been developed by Rightster, and is available for free download globally for all Samsung Smart TV customers.
Samsung Smart TV owners will be able to access a vast vault of high quality SNTV content at the swipe of a screen, giving the consumer complete control over what sport news and highlights footage they watch and when. The sntv app compliments Samsung’s existing range of Smart TV sports apps. The sntv app is dedicated to providing the consumer with the very latest global sports news content, including the very latest developments from big tournaments, including the UEFA Champions League and FIFA World Cup.
The app is designed to integrate Samsung’s advertising AdHub service, which will support video ad formats. The exciting partnership between sntv, Rightster and Samsung marks sntv’s first foray into the app market. sntv, a joint venture between The Associated Press and IMG Media, offers unrivalled sports content for consumers to choose from, ranging from universally popular sports through to extreme sports that rarely feature on broadcast television channels.
Martin Kay, Managing Director of SNTV, commented, “We are extremely excited to be working with leading technology partners Samsung who have an incredibly high market share in the TV market globally and video content hosts Rightster, to deliver sntv content straight to the customer. We aim at gaining insight into how people across the globe now consume sports content with the influence of connected TVs and smarter technology. This partnership also demonstrates the important role news agencies play in giving consumer instant choice and access to the content they want.”
Charlie Muirhead, CEO, Rightster commented, “It is a pleasure to support sntv's digital innovation as they continue to bring content directly to sports fans. We are seeing increased engagement with sports content on Connected TVs which presents a great opportunity for brands to reach audiences as they experience a new way to consume video.”

A lesson in covering the Jogo Bonito: FIFA World Cup Brazil 2014
We have covered the last four World Cups but never has there been an event as logistically challenging as the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. However, for this event more than any other, our clients are going to rely heavily on us as they either won't be able to justify having their own crews, or at most may have one'. Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world at 3,287,612 square miles. It spans three time zones, has variable transport infrastructure and is, in places, dangerous. But the 'Jogo Bonito' or 'Beautiful Game' in Portuguese is part of the lifeblood of this country and we know the passion and excitement at this World Cup is going to be palpable.
