Press release
Molotov now available on all the Echo Show smart displays*
Paris, December 14, 2020
The Molotov application can now be controlled by Alexa on all Amazon Echo Show and Fire TV Cube/Stick streaming devices.
Consumer adoption of voice assistants is accelerating, and Molotov is particularly enthusiastic about how these technologies improve the user experience on entertainment services. Molotov is the first TV distributor to make its debut on Amazon Echo Show smart displays, offering a TV experience adapted to new uses: voice-controlled TV with Alexa.
Molotov users who install the free Skill on their Echo Show can access live, replay or on-demand programs easily and quickly in any room of the house. For example, it is now possible to use the voice to ask Alexa to search, launch and control programs on Molotov, simply by saying:
- Alexa, launch [TV channel name] on Molotov
- Alexa, go back to the beginning
- Alexa, search a comedy
- Alexa, find a movie with [actor name]
Molotov users can also enjoy Alexa's multiple voice commands on their TV for free via Amazon Fire TV Cube/Stick streaming devices, which they simply plug into the TV's HDMI port to access the Fire TV application ecosystem including Molotov app. This is a radically simple way to watch Molotov on your living room screen!
Amazon Echo Show devices are also available in the services provided by Molotov Solutions, the B2B branch of the streaming platform. Demos are available upon request at https://www.molotov.solutions.
*The Molotov Skill is available on second-generation Echo Show devices.
