MOG and Samsung team up for streaming on smart TVs and Blu-ray players

MOGStreaming music service MOG on Tuesday announced it has partnered with Samsung to offer its 12-million-song streaming catalog to owners of the latest models of Samsung Smart TVs and Blu-ray players.

The move allows MOG to spread its brand further, following rival streaming service Pandora in moving outside of PCs and mobile phones to find new customers. Samsung’s 2010 and 2011 Smart TVs or Blu-ray players will work with the service.
