Montreal, November 24, 2016 — Stingray today released in the U.S. a new and improved Stingray Music mobile app with more than 2,000 Vibes channels and enhanced features. The mobile app is available free to everyone with access to Stingray Music through their TV provider.

In addition to unlimited, ad-free streaming of the same Stingray Music channel lineup offered on television, music fans can now explore and enjoy an additional 2,000 professionally curated Vibes  channels in close to 100 genres including hip-hop, rock, pop, electronic, indie, Christian, country music and more! The comprehensive channel selection covers all styles and tastes, from the most mainstream to the most niche.
The Stingray Music mobile app invites users to combine up to three filters in Activity, Mood, Theme, Genre and Era categories for a listening experience that’s uniquely theirs. Each combination returns a tailored selection of corresponding channels to choose from as well as additional suggestions they may also like.

Vibes channels offer the best possible listening experience for all situations; from energetic pop songs to motivate workouts to elegant jazz tracks to entertain friends, powerful rock anthems for tailgate parties, and family friendly melodies to amuse the little ones.
“We are beyond thrilled to introduce 2,000 free Vibes channels to our listeners in the U.S.,” said Mathieu Péloquin, Senior Vice-President, Marketing and Communications of Stingray. “Our objective when creating Vibes channels was to open a window into a world of infinite possibilities where the perfect soundtrack to all of life’s occasions is always right at your fingertips.
