Lexus Launches TV Channel on Comcast’s Xfinity TV
Automaker Lexus, in collaboration with Comcast Media 360, a business unit of Comcast Spotlight, has launched a new branded interactive television (iTV) channel across Comcast’s Xfinity On Demand platforms, showcasing its new 2014 vehicles.
Xfinity TV customers can access the Lexus channel on their televisions via the Xfinity On Demand menu, the XFINITY TV Remote app, or online at Xfinity.com/TV.
They can also access the channel directly from interactive overlays on Lexus TV spots and interactive program guide banners (known as telescoping).
