Comcast has seen double digit growth in streaming music
consumption this year versus the same time last year. Spotify is
seeing the same trends from their end— the increase in working from
home is showing that more users are now streaming on their TVs.
“Xfinity customers love the broad range of content available on
Xfinity, all easily discoverable with the award winning Xfinity
Voice Remote,” said Rebecca Heap, Senior Vice President, Video and
Entertainment, Comcast Cable. “Music streaming on Xfinity X1 and
Flex is at an all-time high and we’re pleased our customers will
now be able to enjoy Spotify’s Free and Premium tiers and extensive
library of on demand music, curated playlists and podcasts right on
the TV alongside the growing catalog of entertainment already
available on these platforms, adding even more great value to their
Xfinity service.”
Customers with Xfinity Flex and, in the coming days, X1, can say
“Spotify” into their Xfinity Voice Remote and login with existing
credentials to start streaming. New customers will be able to
create a Spotify account directly on the device and immediately
have access to the free, ad-supported version of the service.
Spotify joins other music and listening streaming services already
available on X1 and Flex including Pandora, Amazon Music,
Radio.com, iHeartRadio, XITE, NPR One, Music Choice, Stingray Music
and Baeble.
