På CES i Las Vegas kunne Panasonic netop annoncere, at man på sit Viera Connect-aktiveret TV vil få adgang til MySpace TV, hvor man herfra kan tilgå en række forskellige underholdnings-kanaler.
De første kanaler vil være fokuseret på musik, og stadig være grundlag for tjenesten, mens man dog har planer om at tilføje andre kanaler såsom film, nyheder og sport.
Brugerne vil få lov til at interagere på det sociale netværk, mens de ser TV. Om dette dog er nok til at genoplive MySpace, må tiden jo vise. I dag har tjenesten blot 20 millioner månedlige besøgende, der altså er langt mindre end for blot få år siden.
We’re ready to take television and entertainment to the next step by upgrading it to the social networking experience. Why text or email your friends to talk about your favorite programs after they’ve aired when you could be sharing the experience with real-time interactivity from anywhere across the globe? As the plot of your favorite drama unfolds, the joke of your favorite SNL character plays, or even the last second shot of your favorite team swishes the net, we’re giving you the opportunity to connect your friends to your moments as they’re actually occurring. This is the evolution of one of our greatest inventions, the television. And, we no longer have to crowd around the same one to experience it together.
