By pairing a VIZIO TV with one of VIZIO’s award-winning sound bars, audiences can set the mood with a wide variety of music options from Amazon Music and enjoy a surround sound experience right from their living room.
“At VIZIO, we believe the TV is the centerpiece of the home entertainment experience, which is why we’ve made it a priority to add content and services that our users love,” said Katherine Pond, Vice President of Business Development at VIZIO. “The addition of music services like Amazon Music, together with our award-winning Sound Bars, allows us to offer users a new way to search, discover and experience high-quality music, podcasts and more from their VIZIO smart TV.”
The Amazon Music app joins a healthy roster of music-related apps on VIZIO such as Pandora, VEVO, and TIDAL, as well as channels available on VIZIO’s free streaming service, WatchFree+. VIZIO is continuously enhancing the platform with new features and content, providing users with endless entertainment options.
