British music streaming firm ROXi launches new FREE TV Music App on millions of TVs

British music streaming company ROXi, backed by Kylie Minogue and Robbie Williams, announces the launch of its revolutionary new free TV Music App available on millions of TVs across the UK.

Until now music streaming services simply gave you something to listen to, in audio. ROXi changes everything by igniting all the senses, transforming the way you experience new music and your favourite tunes in the home.

Dedicated entirely to music and featuring an intuitive new TV user interface, ROXi is the only holistic TV Music App designed to bring friends and families together to enjoy unlimited music videos, sing karaoke and play interactive music games on TVs, for free with ads.

ROXi provides unlimited access to every original music video, album and song with 70 million music recordings from all the major and leading independent labels constantly updated with the latest releases.

ROXi also features hundreds of exclusive music video channels for every mood and occasion and for karaoke fans there are 140,000 traditional karaoke and ‘Karaoke With The Stars’ singalong tracks, plus interactive music games to test your musical knowledge, and more.

An optional upgrade to the ROXi Premium tier offers full ad-free access to all of ROXi’s features for just £6.99 per month and comes with a no obligation 30-day free trial.

Millions of free ROXi Karaoke Microphones

To celebrate the launch of ROXi’s new TV Music App, the company is giving away more than ONE MILLION ROXi Karaoke Microphones worth £29.99 to new users.** The ROXi Karaoke Microphone features a built-in amplifier and speaker, and works with any TV, perfect for singing along to ROXi’s 140,000 karaoke tracks with friends and family.

Revolutionary new TV User Interface

Dubbed “Netflix for music” by new users, ROXi’s new TV Music App user interface makes it easy to find and play all your favourite music videos, songs and albums, browse and select music video channels for every mood. You can check out the latest releases and discover new music with a familiar and intuitive on-screen design and simple controls via your TV or set-top box remote control or ROXi’s Mobile Companion App (available for Android and iOS).

ROXi CEO, Rob Lewis said, “ROXi’s new free TV Music App is the best way to enjoy music together at home. It gives millions of households across the UK free unlimited access to every music video, album and song as well as karaoke sing-a-longs and music games to enjoy together on their TV – delivering unlimited fun with family and friends for free. With ROXi, we’re shifting the dial away from solitary to shared music experiences.”

“Following the lead of Netflix and Disney+, we’re bringing ROXi’s TV Music App to millions of UK households this year through Apps on Smart and Pay TVs. We’re doing for music what the video-on-demand services have done for movies on the TV, but for free.”

“The launch of our new TV Music App is just the beginning. We have a raft of exciting innovations for the ROXi platform in the pipeline”, concludes Lewis.

The new ROXi TV Music App launches today for the vast majority of UK households using connected TV devices on Sky Q, Fire TV, Android TV, Google TV including compatible Sony, Panasonic, Philips, Toshiba, TCL, HiSense and Shield Smart TV platforms with Samsung TV and others coming soon.
