MIG integrates social payments into zeebox app

UK broadcaster BSkyB bought a ten per cent share of zeebox in January to secure exclusive integration of the platform's tech. And the firm claims that at launch earlier this month, it was getting up to 15,000 new sign-ups per hour.

Now MIG will integrate its Engage solution to extend the 'second-screen' experience and offer an additional monetisation stream for broadcasters.

Anthony Rose, zeebox's CTO, said: “Broadcasters and programme makers are embracing second screen apps to bring social media and interactivity to their programmes. But spending time and money creating an app for each programme, and for viewers having to find and download an app each time they change channel, isn’t sustainable or scalable.

"zeebox changes that, providing a plug-in architecture that allows broadcasters and programme makers to provide enhanced experiences, delivered within zeebox, easily and at low cost. We’re delighted to be working with MIG to integrate their Engage platform with zeebox, providing broadcasters with new audiences and revenue streams.”

Seems Zeebox is to release an android app , I wonder whether this means it's more likely we'll also see an Android Sky+(Zeebox app) when Sky launch.

Hopefully we will be able to launch the Android app next week.

It will have about 90% of the capabilities of the iOS app at first, but we will work to bring in the same functionality fairly quickly.
