Fans of music from the 1970s, 80s, 90s and 2000s can get their fix on Samsung’s in-built streaming channel platform as NOW Music expands its channel selection on TV Plus.

The operators of the NOW Music channels have expanded their reach by launching additional services on Samsung TV Plus.
Originally exclusive to satellite and cable, NOW Music has been adding its channels to various streaming platforms, including Pluto TV and Channelbox. NOW 80s has been part of the Samsung TV Plus line-up for a while, but it’s now been joined by sister channels NOW 70s and NOW 90s & 00s.

TV Plus allows owners of Samsung smart TVs and selected smartphones and tablets to access a growing library of free streaming channels, including a number of channels that are making the transition from traditional broadcast platforms to streaming.
NOW Music joins Vevo, XITE and Trace as part of Samsung’s 13-channel music TV line-up. However, Staccs has exited the platform after one year, removing three music channels from TV Plus.
NOW Music channels became part of Sky’s streaming service (Sky Glass/Sky Stream) last year.
