Berlin/London, 13 May 2020 – As advertising-funded video on demand gains traction on the European market, innovator Pluto TV has expanded its offering in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland launching 24 new channels. Having begun 2020 with a lineup of 45 live channels, Pluto TV has rapidly grown its portfolio to now deliver 75 channels in these three markets.

To meet the growing demand of ad-supported streaming throughout GSA, on 13 May, an all-new campaign will debut across television and digital outlets across Germany, Switzerland and Austria, designed to increase brand awareness and adoption of Pluto TV in the region.

“At Pluto TV, we want to offer everybody at home a channel they love, and we are thrilled to add more than 24 new channels in the German-speaking markets in one month. Within the last four months alone, we have been able to increase our channel offering by a third of the entire portfolio. This a major step in pushing Pluto TV to the next level,” said Olivier Jollet, Managing Director Europe at Pluto TV.

The new slate of channels includes highlights from categories such as Kids, Curiosity, Reality TV, Sports, and Entertainment.

Pluto TV is excited to welcome an all-new suite of Pop-Up channels featuring ViacomCBS’ award-winning IP with iconic brands like SpongeBob Squarepants, iCarly, Blue’s Clues, Victorious, Bubble Guppies, Sam & Cat, and more. Additionally, Pluto TV’s MTV channels Dating and The Hills, as well as Totally Turtles, are now available in English language for German viewers to get the authentic experience in the cast’s native tongue.

Pluto TV will also introduce new original, thematically curated channels – Pluto TV Crime, Pluto TV Lives and Pluto TV Yoga, among others.

Complementing its major content boost, Pluto TV initializes its first ever European campaign. It will feature spots and banners with whimsical and tongue-in-cheek messages that match the brand and highlight the diversity of the channel offering.
