Bounce TV, the fastest-growing African-American (AA) network on television, today announced the launch of a free mobile app which will allow access to a wide variety of its popular programming anywhere, anytime.
The Bounce TV app features full seasons of Bounce TV's original series, including hit shows "Saints & Sinners," "Mann & Wife" and "Family Time," blockbuster movies and exciting fights featured in the network's "Premier Boxing Champions – The Next Round series."
The Bounce TV app is now available for free in the iTunes App Store for iPhone and iPad and in the Google Play Store for Android phones and tablets.
"With millions watching each week, the premiere of 'Saints and Sinners' has driven demand for Bounce TV's original programming to an all-time high. Despite this record-breaking ratings growth, there are still services like DirecTV and Dish that are behind the times and undervalue African-American consumers by not offering Bounce. The Bounce TV app complements our existing viewership by expanding the network's available audience base and giving everyone access to our programming," Jonathan Katz, Chief Operating Officer of Bounce TV, said.
