SAN ANTONIO, Texas—Continuing to provide hoteliers with new features for the guest experience, LG Business Solutions USA introduced LG Channels, LG’s streaming service, on its smart hotel TVs and set-top boxes. Demonstrated at the 2024 Hospitality Show, the service will have FAST (free ad-supported streaming television) channels across a range of programming categories including live news, sports, movies, reality, drama, and more.
“Hoteliers are always looking for additional content and channels for their guests,” explained Jacob Benner, senior director of hospitality, LG Electronics USA. “Over 95 FAST LG Channels are currently available on all of our smart hotel TVs and set-top boxes, and hotel management—via their integrator partner—can decide which of these channels they wish to add from an ‘a la carte’ menu. As there is no need for additional apps or hardware to support the programming, the LG Channels will appear on-screen as regular TV channels within the guest channel guide.”
Developed by LG to provide hotels with more free content for their guests, and enabled by the hoteliers’ integrator, some of the available channels will include ION, The Hill TV, Movie-Sphere by Lionsgate, Deal or No Deal by Banijay Rights, and World Poker Tour, and 20-plus Stingray Music channels with high-definition audio.
No additional hardware or software is required. With the opportunity to personalize the channels available, the service will provide hoteliers with an option to offer a variety of free content to guests without overloading channel maps.
