Sky signs exclusive deal to bring ROXi music entertainment to millions of Sky Q customers

08 September 2020 - Press release

• Sky has signed an exclusive deal to bring Unlimited Music, Karaoke and other music entertainment features to its Sky Q set-top box.
• This exclusive deal is with UK streaming company ROXi, which is already backed by Sheryl Crow, Robbie Williams, Alesha Dixon and all the major music rights owners.
• Previously, the ROXi experience was only available to consumers who purchased the popular ROXi Music Entertainment Console. This is the first time the experience has been made available on a Pay TV set-top box and means the popular ROXi experience will be available to MILLIONS of Sky customers right away, without the need for any additional hardware.
• This deal is revolutionary for ROXi – bringing it to millions of consumers.
• Revolutionary for Sky – suddenly the Sky Q box does Unlimited Music, Karaoke, Music Games and lots of extra stuff, not just TV programmes, sport and films.
• Delivers something competitors Virgin Media and BT don't have – and won't have.
• The announcement on Tuesday is the same day as the consumer launch; ROXi will turn up on millions of Sky Q boxes on Tuesday.
• ROXi will be making the ROXi experience available to consumers on other third-party Smart TV in due course – but for now Sky is the first, and no other Pay TV networks will get it for a considerable period of time.
• ROXi CEO Rob Lewis is claiming by the end of 2022, ROXi will be available to 500 million TVs worldwide.
• ROXi CEO Rob Lewis predicts particularly given COVID-19, "The next revolution in digital entertainment is about shared entertainment experiences that bring friends and family together for great fun times, delivered on the biggest screen in the home - the television."
• ROXi on Sky Q gives users Unlimited Music access to over 55 million tracks, Music Trivia Games, Karaoke-style Singalongs, Worldwide Radio, and Yoga and Meditation music.
• ROXi on Sky Q is priced at just £6.99 per month offering better value to customers than competitor music streaming services like Spotify, providing a lot more music entertainment (unlimited music, karaoke, music games, worldwide radio, yoga and meditation music and more) for less.
