Additionally, the service includes video on demand and catch-up content for convenient viewing.

The library of BlastTV benefits from partnerships with global content providers like NBCUniversal, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures, MGM Television, and Lionsgate.

Whether you're using a tablet, laptop, or smart TV, BlastTV offers a diverse and engaging content lineup," said Celinda de Guia, president and CEO of TapDMV.

Dennis Uy, co-founder and CEO of Converge, for his part, said: "BlastTV is our latest step in revolutionizing digital entertainment in the Philippines...
