Edd Uzzell, proposition development manager Sony UK, said in a statement: “Sony is focused on providing the widest range of content on Bravia Internet Video and our partnership with Moshcam allows us to deliver music fans amazing live concerts and exclusive footage of their favourite artists.”
“Moshcam has always been ahead of the broadband curve, filming concerts in broadcast quality since its inception,” said Paul Hannigan, music director of Moshcam. “With our Sony IPTV partnership, users can now experience their favorite artists’ gigs free and on demand from the comfort of their lounge room. This is an absolute win for music fans and a win for the artists, who are reaching new audiences through an exciting new platform. As an industry leader, Sony is the perfect partner to enable TV viewers to enjoy Moshcam’s content.”
