“As consumers’ viewing habits change and audiences migrate to over-the-top streaming services from companies like Amazon, we want to be there,” Diego Gigliani, Senior Vice-President for Media and Innovation at City Football, said in a statement Monday. “Amazon Fire TV is a growing platform with huge potential and we’re extremely excited to bring CityTV content to it.”
Manchester City’s new app follows other digital innovations that the Club has done including the launch of Facebook Instant Articles allows fans to quickly access the latest City news on their News Feeds, an official Manchester City Apple News page and an official sticker for iMessage which allows iPhone users to embed Manchester City-themed images into conversations.
