Frndly TV, the low-priced, family-oriented television service said its app is now available on Vizio smart TVs.

Having the app available makes it easier for Vizio set users to find, subscribe and watch Frndly TV.

Vizio users can check out Frndly TV for free for seven days before purchasing a subscription for as low as $6.99 per month. 

“The addition of the Frndly TV app to the Vizio lineup provides affordable and accessible family-friendly entertainment for all to enjoy without a costly cable subscription,” said Chris Tanquary, senior director of business development at Vizio . “Now millions of Vizio users can access their favorite live programming at a smart price point and all within the Vizio experience.”
