May 23--Houston dogs are among the top to tune in to DogTV, a channel created specifically for dogs.
DogTV unveiled the top cities for its streaming programming so far in 2017, and Houston came in at No. 3. It ranked behind Los Angeles and New York and ahead of Chicago. The Woodlands was the No. 10 market.
"Dogs who stay home during an often long workday may experience boredom, loneliness and separation anxiety, and DogTV is one service that can help dogs relax and enjoy their days," Gilad Neumann, CEO and co-founder, DOGTV, said in an announcement.
What are they watching?
"Dogs like watching video of other dogs in action, dog-human interactions, and environments they enjoy like fields, beaches and urban landscapes," said Nicholas Dodman, chief scientist at DogTV.
"Dogs are (mostly) colorblind, seeing only blue and yellow but not green and red. In the video production process, DogTV puts emphasis on certain colors so dogs are more attuned to what's on screen."
DogTV is available on Comcast's(CMCSA) Xfinity On Demand, DirecTV, RCN, Apple TV, Chromecast, Amazon FireTV, Roku, and as an iOS and Android app.
