Indie specialty broadcaster Hollywood Suite is getting in the GO game with the launch of a new programming app for subscribers.

The channels’ content will be available for iOS and Android users who subscribe to the specialty movie package, which includes four channels.

The HSGO app is one of the first to come from an independent broadcaster in Canada, and was developed with L4 Mobile with authentication from Akamai. HSGO includes the ability for users to create a customizable watch list, push notifications of the movies they are watching online through social media and also to stream while only on WiFi to control data usage.

Hollywood Suite president David Kines says that because Hollywood Suite is operated in partnership with BDUs there are no plans to make the new HSGO service available to digital-only subscribers.

Like the channels (WarnerFilms, MGM Channel, Sony Movie Channel and AXN Movies), there are no plans for ads on the new digital offering, but Kines says that there is the possibility of adding pre-roll in the future.
