Stingray, the Montreal-based global music, media, and technology company, has announced today the launch of ad-supported TV channels as well as SVOD and AVOD services with eight major OTT and TV providers. This includes U.S. services Local Now, Plex TV, Struum, Altice USA’s Optimum Stream, and Suddenlink Stream, among other international providers like Pluto TV in Brazil; Amazon Prime Video Channels in Netherlands, Italy, and Spain; and a few others.
Eric Boyko, President, Co-founder, and CEO of Stingray, said, “We are thrilled to bring Stingray services to new and existing partners looking to provide quality entertainment for their customers. With these new distribution agreements, we have grown our potential worldwide reach by over millions of viewers.”
New partnerships with Local Now, Plex TV, and Struum will undoubtedly increase Stingray’s audience, adding millions of potential viewers in new territories and platforms. As of late, Stingray has been downloaded more than 160 million times and has reached 400 million users from 160 countries.

Stingray’s FAST channels offer audiences free access to music in every possible genre and lifestyle content such as Qello Concerts by Stingray, Stingray Karaoke, Stingray Naturescape, and Stingray Music.

Its SVOD and AVOD services include Qello Concerts by Stingray and Stingray Karaoke plus Stingray Classica and Stingray DJAZZ. These services allow viewers to stream on-demand sold-out concert performances by the most prominent entertainers, jazz performers, and classical music, operas, and ballets from across the globe.
