Artists will benefit from expanded distribution, provided by BBTV, across digital streaming platforms, including: Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Tidal, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Deezer and Pandora.

BBTV will also leverage its relationships with providers to place content within top curated playlists, and land opportunities specific to the various platforms.

BBTV’s dedicated music division is also offering up a full suite of label services to select artists, consisting of marketing support, original content production, influencer marketing, and branded sponsorships.
