Globe provides app enhancement to ‘Cartoon Network Watch and Play’
Turner has announced a major enhancement to its Cartoon Network Watch and Play app, allowing Globe Telecom customers to livestream Cartoon Network and on-demand content via a new authenticated service. The features were previewed at an event on October 22-23 showcasing a unique digital experience at the Globe ICONIC store, Bonifacio High Street Amphitheater in BGC.
Globe customers will soon be able to log in to the free app using their username and password to unlock an array of value-added services, which includes livestreaming the channel on devices, games and access to full episodes on demand. In addition, Cartoon Network Anything – a unique micro-network that presents short-form content – is now offered as part of the Globe app bundle.
Phil Nelson, Turner’s Managing Director in Southeast Asia, said: “We’re always looking for new ways to connect Cartoon Network fans with our content. This partnership creates a truly unique and enjoyable second-screen brand experience for kids to enjoy and for parents to trust.”
Both apps let kids enjoy their favorite characters and shows whenever. Fueling their imagination, they allow them to be a hero with Ben 10 and the Omnitrix, rule the Candy Kingdom with Princess Bubblegum, flip out with The Powerpuff Girls, or embark on mathematical adventures with Finn and Jake whenever they want.
”Together with Turner, we are able to give our customers a more wonderful digital entertainment experience on mobile. We share Turner’s commitment to provide more creative ways to nurture kids’ imagination. With the app’s availability on Globe, kids and their parents can enjoy the app and avail of the 30-day free trial,” says Globe Senior Advisor for Consumer Business Dan Horan.
Dedicated data usage for the apps will be offset via a data wallet system, available via users’ subscription plans, meaning they won’t have to worry about eating into their precious monthly allowance.
