PODC PodcastOne Inc

LiveOne (Nasdaq: LVO), an award-winning, creator-first music, entertainment, and technology platform, announced today that it has partnered with Telly, the world’s smartest TV offered at the revolutionary price of free, to deliver an unmatched dual-screen audio and entertainment experience to Telly users.

Seamless Integration & Unique Dual-Screen ExperienceLiveOne is the first dual-screen-enabled audio app available on Telly televisions, allowing users to enjoy music or podcasts on the secondary “Smart” display while also simultaneously watching content on the primary “Theater” display at the same time. This innovative collaboration between LiveOne and Telly sets a new standard for multitasking and home entertainment.

With LiveOne implemented as the default music provider, users can simply ask their Telly to play their favorite genre, artist, or song and LiveOne will immediately start playing music creating a seamless, account-free experience.

Powered by a room-blasting built-in six-speaker Harman Kardon soundbar, music is one of Telly’s most popular beyond-TV experiences, helping Telly to capture 2X the overall daily engagement of traditional TVs.

“Telly’s dual-screen functionality paired with LiveOne’s lean-back programming capabilities unlocks a new level of convenience and enjoyment for our users,” said Bradley Konkol, Head of LiveOne’s Slacker Radio. “This partnership exemplifies how we can combine cutting-edge technology with exceptional entertainment to redefine the home experience. We’re excited to work with Telly to push the boundaries of what’s possible in audio and video integration.”

Revolutionizing Advertising with Integrated CapabilitiesLiveOne’s integration into Telly includes the deployment of Telly’s Advertising SDK, enabling seamless ad delivery on the Smart display while music plays. When users switch audio playback to the Theater display, LiveOne transitions audio ads to video impressions managed by Telly. This collaboration maximizes the value of ad-supported users, ensuring a consistent and innovative advertising experience across both displays.

“Telly is much more than a TV—it’s the heartbeat of the modern home,” said Neal Tiles, Head of Partnerships for Telly. “With our dual-screen technology and advanced audio integration, we’re delivering experiences that go far beyond traditional television. Our partnership with LiveOne exemplifies our commitment to transforming the home entertainment experience, seamlessly blending the power of engaging audio with cutting-edge technology to redefine what’s possible for users and advertisers alike.”
