“Just because the TV has never changed, doesn’t make it right,” said WIREWAX CEO, Steve Callanan. “We’re all being thrust into a super-connected world for an ever-demanding audience. So it was inevitable that TV would only need to become more interactive, not less so. The WIREWAX platform has been helping content creators make video and TV content interactive for over a decade, and now the hardware in our homes has evolved alongside the access to relevant and timely information, the perfect harmony of TV, tech and the web has gracefully arrived.”
