We're very excited to share the news that The AOL On Network has launched version 2.0 of our widely popular app for connected TVs. The upgraded app boasts a slick new interface as well as high-definition videos from AOL original content properties and its premium content partners, including everyone from Reuters to Entertainment Tonight to Gourmet TV and BBC.

The app features a selection of video from our massive library of more than 380,000 short-form videos. And best of all, we have hundreds of fresh new videos being added every day, so users are encouraged to check back often for more videos on their favorite topics. The upgraded app is now available on Samsung Smart TVs, Roku and Sony. We're also excited to reveal that TiVo will join the list of supported platforms in the coming weeks.

The launch of our new app brings great news on the advertiser front as well. Version 2.0 features ad-serving capabilities that enable AOL advertisers to reach consumers across a variety of connected TV platforms.
