We were recently featured in Bar and Restaurant News for our work helping hospitality venues level up their guest experience using something many businesses overlook: their TVs.
The article, “Beyond Background Noise: How Music Videos Can Transform Your Venue’s Experience,” highlights how music videos, when used intentionally, can take your TVs from an afterthought to a driving force behind customer engagement and loyalty.
If you missed it, the feature explores how forward-thinking venues are using their screens to create immersive, brand-aligned experiences that help them stand out in a competitive hospitality market.
Here are four key takeaways from the article and how you can put them to work in your own bar, restaurant, or entertainment venue.

Your TVs Can Do More Than Show Sports
Sports programming is a staple, but what happens when there’s no game on? Leaving screens blank or playing unrelated content is a missed opportunity. With curated music videos, you can maintain energy and keep the vibe on-brand at all times.
Music Videos Reinforce Your Brand Personality
Every visual and sound in your space tells a story. Music videos create immersive, repeatable experiences that your customers come to associate with your brand. Control Play gives you the tools to tailor content to your crowd, whether you’re aiming for a high-energy vibe or a more relaxed setting.
Visual Content Encourages Guests to Stay Longer
When people enjoy the atmosphere, they tend to linger. And when they stay longer, they spend more. Music videos give guests a reason to stick around, especially during quieter times. This simple change can lead to higher tabs and more consistent revenue.
No Need to Be a Tech or Music Expert
One of the most important points in the article is that it’s easy to get started. Control Play manages the content licensing, scheduling, and support for you. The platform is designed specifically for hospitality settings, so your team can focus on service while the environment practically runs itself.
Why This Matters
Guests today want more than just good food or drinks. They’re looking for an experience. Control Play helps you deliver that experience using professionally managed music video programming that is simple to use, completely customizable, and effective at building customer loyalty.
