Shares in TabletTV provider Motive Television (LON:MTV) jumped by more than a third as it announced it is to make its app available for the recently announced Apple TV.
Users will be able to watch and recording live terrestrial channels as well as internet channels and video-on-demand services through the TabletTV app on their new television screens.
Already a registered Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) developer, Motive will become one of the earliest developers for the Apple TV platform.
Leonard Fertig, chief executive, said: “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.”
