Rockbot is first to bring Vevo’s music videos into out-of-home environments, offering curated programming for restaurants, gyms, retail stores and other in-store businesses

New York, NY & Oakland, CA, July 28, 2026 – Vevo, the world’s leading music video network, and Rockbot, the leader in digital media solutions for brick-and-mortar businesses, have today announced a partnership to bring Vevo’s premium music video programming to commercial venues across the U.S.
Through the partnership, Rockbot will be the first platform to offer Vevo music videos curated for business environments, giving restaurants, bars, fitness centers, retail stores, hospitality venues and other businesses access to ad-free premium music video programming. The exclusive offering will introduce six music video channels at launch – Rock, Hip-Hop, and Dance set the mode with the most influential artists and groundbreaking tracks from those core musical genres, while Day, Night and Late Night are dayparted and uniquely programmed to reflect the customer journey throughout the day. Additional programming opportunities will follow.
This marks Vevo's expansion into the out-of-home streaming category, extending the reach of its premium music video content, beyond traditional connected TV, mobile and desktop, into the places consumers visit every day.
“Music videos have always been one of the most powerful intersections of music, culture and visual storytelling, making them uniquely suited for out-of-home environments where people gather and share experiences,” said Natalie Gabathuler-Scully, EVP, Revenue, Distribution, & Data Operations at Vevo. “As consumers increasingly co-view content together on larger screens, music videos offer businesses a compelling way to connect with audiences through the artists, moments and conversations shaping pop culture. Through our partnership with Rockbot, we’re creating entirely new opportunities for audiences to discover and engage with music video content in these environments, while giving businesses access to premium programming that helps enhance the customer experience and create more engaging, memorable spaces.”
Rockbot powers entertainment and media experiences for more than 50,000 business locations across the U.S., serving leading brands across retail, restaurants, fitness, hospitality, and entertainment - from Best Buy and Planet Fitness to Shake Shack, Lucky Strike, Great Wolf Lodge and more. The company is redefining what it means to deliver media at scale, unifying curated music, digital signage and Rockbot TV's professionally programmed content, spanning news, sports, lifestyle, family and ambient programming, into one seamless, omnichannel experience. Powered by best-in-class technology, Rockbot gives brands of every size the tools to create immersive, on-brand spaces that keep guests coming back.
"Businesses have different needs than consumers when it comes to television and streaming, and Rockbot solves that," said Garrett Dodge, CEO and co-founder of Rockbot. “The right experience for a business - one that reflects their brand, offers commercial-free, fully-licensed programming, and can be centrally managed - is key. Now, bringing music videos to our customers takes our business one step further. Our exclusive partnership with Vevo changes the game, combining one of the world’s most iconic music video brands with a platform purpose-built for business. Companies can now deliver premium music video programming that matches the energy of the moment and can be managed across one location or thousands. It’s how Rockbot TV is reinventing television for business.”
Vevo content will be available through Rockbot as curated, linear streaming channels and as part of broader programming bundles alongside content from other media providers. Businesses will be able to manage programming, scheduling, and content delivery through Rockbot's centralized dashboard, allowing businesses to control entertainment experiences across one or multiple locations from a single interface.
