Philips MediaSuite has become the first dedicated hospitality TV to feature the DAZN app following a new agreement with the streaming service.
PPDS, the exclusive global provider of Philips Professional Displays, made the announcement at ISE 2024 in Barcelona. It will make DAZN available in some of the most recognised global hotel brands, including Accor, IHG, Marriot, and Radisson.
There is already an option for Netflix and Apple TV+ on Philips MediaSuite TVs.
Jeroen Verhaeghe, Global Business Development Director Hospitality, commented: “Philips MediaSuite was created to transform what had become an outdated and tired in-room TV experience. Running on Android, we wanted to provide hoteliers with a TV solution that could evolve with the needs of the customer and keeping pace with the trends in the market. This means providing them with what they need to let them take control of how, when, and by whatever means they prefer to consume their content.”
There are two packages for hotels that want to subscribe to DAZN on behalf of their guests. DAZN Base, which is included in each of the packages as standard, will offer all sports for which DAZN has worldwide rights. This Base package can be added to with DAZN Ultimate – for core territories that have additional rights requirements, for example the Bundesliga in Germany.
“Demand for our services continues to grow exponentially and we are always exploring opportunities to extend our reach further, and to bring even greater value to both new and existing customers, wherever they happen to be – including inside hotel rooms,” said Rachelle Peterson, SVP Global Commercial Distribution at DAZN.
Hotelliers can also include the new Philips Professional Soundbar HAL5023 with a built-in subwoofer, which will also be on show at ISE 2024.
