AVOD provider Watch4 has launched a free movie channel across smart TV platforms in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Watch4 Movies is currently available on platforms including Samsung TV Plus, LG Channels, Rakuten TV, Philips, TCL and Xiaomi.
The free ad-supported streaming TV service (FAST) features curated collections of movies covering genres like horror, drama, comedy, mystery and action films. The schedule also contains seasonal and themed collections such as Summer of Love and Christmas Classics.
“We have seen Watch4 grow as an AVOD platform massively over the past three years, but as FAST platforms becoming another great place for consumers to discover the content they love, we wanted to extend our brand and curated collections to this space as well,” said Philipp Rotermund, CEO of Watch4.
“Watch4 Movies has been designed to be a more traditional linear TV watching experience for FAST platforms’ audiences. In this fractured TV market, it is more important than ever to be where ever viewers enjoying content,” added Rotermund
Watch4 aims to roll out Watch4 Movies in additional European markets in Q4 2021 and 2022.
