TVN offers karaoke on-demand

Cable customers across the country will be able to belt out a tune on-demand following a deal consummated last week between TVN Entertainment and Sound Choice.

The agreement, which makes TVN the exclusive distributor and sales agent for The Karaoke Channel, will initially serve up 300 to 500 songs from the Sound Choice library, which includes categories such as pop, modern rock, classic rock, country, R&B/hip hop, oldies, standards, and show tunes.

TVN will handle the encoding and transport of the songs to cable affiliates in the U.S. and Canada, which, in turn, will offer the songs for free or via a subscription model. Operators that choose the latter will get access to a free preview package to drive customer awareness.

Service operators already signed up for the service include Advanced Cable Communications, Armstrong Cable, Bend Broadband, Blue Ridge Communications, Buckeye CableSystem, Champion Broadband, Click, Muscatine Power & Water, Shrewsbury Electric & Cable, Sunflower Broadband, Verizon and Wave Broadband.

Other TVN affiliates, which include the likes of Adelphia Communications, Cablevision Systems Corp., Charter Communications, Comcast Cable, and Cox Communications, plan to roll out the service over the next three months or sometime later in the calendar year, said TVN Vice President of Business Development Matt Cohen.

For singers who like to belt it out with a bit more boom, they can purchase a karaoke microphone and mixer directly from TVN and Sound Choice via the Web or through a toll-free number.

The merchandise mechanism “is not [offered via] interactive television yet, but we’re getting closer to that,” Cohen said.

EchoStar Communications also has a deal with Sound Choice, offering the karaoke service on a subscription basis.
