Whale TV, the independent TV operating system maker, has announced the next step in its partnership with TPV to launch Whale TV models to Asia. As part of the deal, TPV will also join the Whale Profit Sharing Programme, which allows TV brands to share in the monetisation revenue generated by Whale TV on devices. The first Whale TV models from TPV – in 32” and 43” screen sizes – are expected to launch in May and will be available in retail stores in Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, India and the Philippines.

“We’ve been working with TPV for a long time and are excited to delight consumers together with a smart and simple TV experience,” said Jason He, CEO of Whale TV. “Our OS – “Whale TV blends the traditional linear broadcast world seamlessly with streaming, and helps consumers find entertainment quickly.”

Whale TV is a licensable TV operating system (OS) that enables TV brands to build smart televisions. The new models from TPV will initially ship with Whale OS 3 and will shortly be upgraded to Whale OS 10 that offers consumers a more personalised viewing experience through user profiles and AI-powered recommendations.
