The free apps will feature all live streaming video available on
Twitter (including live streams of 10 NFLThursday Night Football games,
as well as content from MLB Advanced Media, NBA, Pac 12 Networks, Campus
Insiders, Cheddar and Bloomberg News), and other Twitter content such as top
Tweets and top global Vines and Periscopes. Anyone with these devices,
regardless of whether they have a Twitter account or a pay TV subscription, can
enjoy this experience.

Exclusively on Apple TV, viewers can enjoy live premium video and
check out Tweeted video clips through a seamless side-by-side video experience.

“These devices will bring Twitter’s live streaming video
experience to life on the TV screen,” said Anthony Noto, chief financial
officer at Twitter. “Twitter has always been a great complement to TV, and now
fans can enjoy even more premium video with live Tweets — and the best content
on Twitter — right from their TVs. We’re excited to introduce this new
experience to people, without requiring a paywall or having to log in to
Twitter.”

These free apps will become available in select markets around the
world, starting today. Twitter for Apple TV is available globally via the App
Store for Apple TV (4th generation). Twitter on Xbox One will be available in
