Philo has integrated its wallet-friendly streaming television service into Vizio’s line-up of Internet-connected TV sets, the company announced this week.

The study strongly supports recent partnerships between e-commerce and technology providers that aim to integrate so-called “shoppable” ad experiences into streaming video services and platforms. Some companies that are focused on these developments include Roku, Vizio, Amazon, DoorDash, Walmart, Warner Bros. Discovery, Comcast’s NBC Universal, Samsung and LG, among others.

“We’re excited to offer Home Screen opportunities that make content search and discovery more enjoyable on VIZIO Smart TVs,” Liz Buhn, the VP of platform and content marketing at Vizio, said in a statement. “Through close collaboration with our media and entertainment partners, we enhance and elevate the viewing experience for millions. By fostering creativity and innovation, we can create engaging experiences that captivate audiences in new ways.”

The Weather Channel’s streaming app allows subscribers to watch a live feed of the nationally-distributed cable channel for $3 a month or $30 a year. Vizio users can get a free 7-day trial of the Weather Channel’s streaming service when they sign up through the app. Cable and satellite customers can watch the Weather Channel through the app without any extra fees when they log in with their pay TV credentials.

It marks the second time this year that Frndly TV has launched on a native smart TV platform. In April, the service became available to users of Vizio’s smart TVs powered by its Platform Plus operating system.
