Canada’s DHX Television has taken the wraps off the Family Channel App, a four-in-one offering that features programming from Family Channel, Family CHRGD, Family Jr. and F2N on mobile devices and Web browsers.
The authenticated app for Family subs can access more than 900 episodes across 40 series, as well as live feeds of all four channels. Users can stream full-length episodes and download them for offline viewing. In addition to desktops and PCs, DHX worked with Digiflare to develop versions of the app for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets
In concert with the launch, the Family Channel App is offering the series premiere of Raising Expectations, Family’s new sitcom starring Molly Ringwald and Jason Priestley ahead of its scheduled May 8 linear TV debut.
“Our existing offering of top quality, award-winning programming is further enhanced by the Family Channel App, as it makes programming suitable for the entire family available in one place creating a premier destination for family entertainment,” said Joe Tedesco, GM and SVP of DHX Television, in a statement. “Giving viewers further flexibility to watch the Family Channel content they love whenever they want and through the screen that best suits their lifestyle not only adds value but provides a customizable viewing experience that subscribers can take advantage of.”
