Easel TV is positioned to address this market. Set up in early 2009, Easel TV was the first connected TV application development house focused on building apps on connected TV. Easel TV, was established by Joe Foster, Bill Scott and Rob Walk. The company works for broadcasters, pay TV channels and brands including Virgin Media, Channel 4, TiVo and All3Media.
