Today, Motive Television PLC (AIM: MTV) announces its intention to make TabletTV available on the recently announced new Apple TV platform in the United States, United Kingdom, and throughout the world. This will mean that Apple TV users will be able to receive, watch, schedule recordings, and enjoy all live digital terrestrial (OTA) broadcast channels, internet channels (OTT) as well as video-on-demand services through TabletTV on their main televisions.


Already a registered Apple developer, by making TabletTV available to Apple TV users, Motive will become one of the earliest developers for the Apple TV platform.


Leonard M Fertig, CEO of Motive commented, "Apple has stated that it believes the future of TV is through Apps. As the creator of the leading App making the complete television experience including over-the-air, internet television, and video on demand available to viewers on their mobile devices it is a natural extension to make TabletTV available on the big screens. With Motive's experience in developing the TabletTV Apps for iPads and other devices over the past two years, we are well positioned to become a leading developer on this new platform."
