Rockbot, a smart music and TV platform, is partnering with airport media provider, Clear Channel Airports, to drive expansion into the airport market, according to a press release.

Rockbot will replace the shuttered CNN media that was once provided on in-airport TV networks. The content is aimed at informing, inspiring and entertaining travelers with sports, news, entertainment and lifestyle content.

The Rockbot Airport TV Network has begun rolling out to U.S .airports, including Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, Oakland International Airport, St. Louis Lambert International Airport, Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport.

"Rockbot's Airport Media Network reimagines the traveler experience by bringing them high-quality entertainment and news from the leading content brands. For example, the network features live stock market and business coverage from Bloomberg, which is the leader in business news and a perfect fit for the airport audience," Garrett Dodge, Rockbot CEO, said in the release. "In addition, the network delivers real-time cloud-based digital signage to give airports a streamlined ability to message their travelers and prompt their concession partners. Just as air travel is picking up again, we have created a modernized TV environment for airports, advertisers and travelers that will forever elevate the industry standard."

"After vetting a number of content providers for gate hold news and entertainment, we selected Rockbot as our partner," said John Moyer, SVP, development, Clear Channel Airports, said in the release. "They've transitioned in quickly, seamlessly and in a user-friendly way delivering custom local and national content, as well as vital airport partner messaging to these networks. We look forward to working with them across these in-airport TV networks."
