Sears and Kmart are preparing to enter the crowded video on demand (VoD) marketplace. Sonic Solutions announced that it will team with the retailers to deliver movies and TV episodes for rent or purchase, including new releases often on the same day as the DVDs become available. The VoD service will be available on Internet-connected devices including TVs, Blu-ray players and mobile phones.
As part of the multi-year agreement, Sears has licensed Sonic Solutions’ RoxioNow platform. Service is expected to launch later this year and be broadly promoted at retail stores nationwide.
