Audiobooks move to Connected TV - will listeners follow?
New channel aims to engage the audiobook market with long-format books on Roku, Fire Stick, and other smart/connected TV devices
TRENTON, Mich., March 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- As usage of various streaming devices continues to increase, Spectrum Audiobooks has launched a CTV channel for fans of audiobooks. The channel includes multiple genres, and features authors from new independents to NYT and USA Today bestsellers.
The service will roll out new titles monthly, and is looking for more authors who are in wide distribution to join. The planned launch is April 28th, 2021.
"Increased usage of streaming services during the pandemic and major players in audio such as Audible cutting back on offerings such as the romance Escape package, has left an opening in the market for listeners who binge listen to titles." states Kelly Rinne, who is at the helm of Spectrum.
Listeners will have the option of free with limited ads or a monthly/annual subscription with no ads.
Authors receive a healthy percentage of revenue, with more details available on the Spectrum Audiobooks website. https://spectrumaudiobooks.com/ctv-distribution/
The phased rollout will start first on Roku, then move to other devices and platforms, including a mobile app. Authors interested in more information are encouraged to contact Spectrum directly.
