    Google TV gains 300 free live TV channels, offers Peacock Premium for free

    Google made a surprising announcement early this week concerning its Google TV service in the United States. The Mountain View company teamed up with Pluto TV to offer Google TV users access to more than 300 free live TV channels.

    The new channels will be available via the Live tab, but Google TV users can also check out the Free Live TV recommendations in the For You tab. According to Google, the integration with Pluto TV will be accessible on all Google TV devices in the coming weeks.

    In other news, Google now offers six months of Peacock Premium at no extra cost. For a limited time, those who activate a new Google TV (or other Android TV OS device) in the United States will get the Peacock Premium service for free for six months. After the deal runs out, customers will have to pay $4.99 per month plus tax, but the subscription can be canceled at any time.

    If you’re a Google TV user, expect even more nice surprises next year, as Google plans to bring more ways to watch for free. Meanwhile, check out the new free live TV channels and enjoy the Peacock deal if you’re a new Google TV user.

  • Emart teams with SM Entertainment

    Emart teams with SM Entertainment

    South Korea’s Emart has launched private brand products created in collaboration with SM Entertainment.

    The products went on sale at Emart Mall and 140 Emart stores nationwide from Thursday (March 3).

    The new products include EXO Jajangmyeon (jajang-flavored instant noodles), Super Junior Habanero Ramen Noodles, TVXQ Truffle Rose Chocolates, Girl’s Generation Popcorn and Shinee Carbonated Water.

    In collaboration with SM Entertainment, Emart plans to increase the number of products on offer to 40 during the first half of the year.

    Emart rolled out a new initiative dubbed ‘Invention Project’ in August 2015, and launched two new private brands, Peacock and No Brand. After the collaboration with SM Entertainment, the two parties plan to look into further projects involving a wider range of products and even intangible merchandise based on SM Entertainment’s artists.

    Emart anticipates that the merchandise will attract not only domestic consumers in their teens and 20s, but also foreign tourists who visit Korea. Officials hope that the new products will be souvenirs to remember Korea, and that Emart will be established as a ‘must-visit’ shopping site when visiting Korea.

    The retailer is also in discussion with SM Entertainment with regards to bringing the new products to overseas markets.

    Marketing executives at Emart claim that they have created a series of completely new products through the collaboration of two very different but powerful platforms. They hope to continue to make innovative progress through their ‘Invention Project’ group.
