Gwen goes fast! The streaming platform is expanding its free content offerings…

Munich (OT)

Following the successful launch of innovative “topic streams” on Joyn, the streaming platform continues to expand its free, ad-funded offering. Through partnerships with wedotv and Palatin Media, Joyn is supplementing the live TV area with “Free Ad-Supported TV” (FAST).

Tassilo Reisig, CEO at Joyn: “With the new FAST Channels on Joyn, we look forward to expanding the comprehensive content offering to our users and thus making their favorite content available in a more convenient way. FAST Channels combine the convenience of linear TV with the innovative power of the live streaming landscape.” “Many people are craving classic, convenient and quick relaxation options without having to think long and hard about what format they want to stream today – and this is where we lean into our range of fast channels and topic streams.”

The FAST offering on Joyn will be expanded further in the coming months. Palatin Media FAST channels “Naruto”, “Top True Crime” and “Craction” are already available, as well as wedotv channels “wedo sports”, “wedo movie” and “wedo big stories”. All Joyn users in Germany and Austria can receive linear channels 24 hours a day for free.

In addition, there are still approximately 60 “special streams” available to users, which offer curated theme-based playlists under the “VOD” tag, for example in genres such as comedies, action films and children’s films. With these broadcasts, Joyn combines the best of both worlds: organization as on TV and the ability to start the program when users want it, as in VoD.
