Flingo, the leading publisher of applications for the smart TV, today announced a partnership with Linkin Park to create the band’s official app for Smart TVs. Designed in collaboration with the band, Flingo’s Linkin Park app will utilize the smart TV as a platform to distribute video, behind-the-scenes footage of studio sessions and concerts, photos and tour dates. The app will soon be available on Smart TVs including Insignia, LG, Samsung, Vizio, Sanyo, Western Digital, and Netgear devices.

“Flingo provides us with a new way to connect with our fans and give them immediate access to our videos,” says Joe Hahn, of Linkin Park. “With our app available in the newest Internet Connected HD TVs, we know our videos are going to look great and sound amazing. Plus, the app gives us total creative control over the format and frequency of which we can reach viewers and listeners, an uncommon luxury for most musicians today.”

Flingo’s application publishing suite seamlessly integrates the web with the TV experience. This enables an ecosystem where media companies, artists and brand sponsors converge on consumer hardware platforms to give viewers a more engaging and personal TV experience. Viewers will enjoy more content on TV than ever before in a highly personalized, interactive experience. Additionally, they can share their favorite moments across popular social networks. Flingo is currently available on 7.2 million screens, in 117 countries worldwide.

“We’re very honored to launch Linkin Park’s app for Smart TVs,” says Alvir Navin, co-founder of Flingo. “As a musician myself, I am always looking for ways that artists can bring their creativity to large audiences directly. Linkin Park is one of the biggest rock bands of all time, so people are going to love 24 hour access to the band’s latest news and videos in the convenience of their TV with all the sound fidelity of a home theater environment.”

Exciting! Can’t wait for that to be available.
