Spanish pay and advertising-supported streaming operator Tivify has launched Tivify Corners, a new feature that is available in all plans.
Among the first content available in this format are hundreds of films from the catalogue of A Contracorriente, the Film&Co channel, special episodes of kids animated series Pocoyó, documentaries from Experto Animal and Sin Filtros, and educational content from Inglés Total.
The Corners offering will be extended in the coming weeks with films and series from Runtime.
Tivify said the addition would consolidate its commitment to offer free content to its users in all modes, either through FAST channels or AVOD content.
The streaming service already includes 45 FAST channels. A significant amount of this is produced from its technology at The Channel Store (TCS), which allows current channels, content producers and distributors to publish their content for free and monetise it through the TCS advertising network.
The infrastructure developed by TCS, paired with the features of Tivify, enables any channel that is broadcasting on the digital-terrestrial platform to migrate its signal and content to streaming.
Back-to-back with the launch of its new AVOD catalogues, Tivify has also reorganised the content offer of its plans.
Tivify Free now includes more than 160 channels, with a selection of DVB-T, thematic, regional, international, and local channels.
Tivify Plus, its basic subscription plan, adds to that offer the channels Antena 3, La Sexta, Neox, Nova, Atreseries, Mega, Telecinco, Cuatro, Energy, FDF, Divinity, BeMad and Boing, as well as advanced functionalities: restart programmes, recordings, access to last week’s programmes from the main channels, the customisation of the UI or the possibility of linking an account to other devices.
The streamer says it has improved Tivify Plus, which will be available for a promotional price of €0.99 a month until the end of this month, or for a single annual payment of €11.88. The normal price of Tivify Plus will be €1.99 euros per month, and that of Tivify Premium, €5.99 with an annual commitment or €7.99 without.
The Premium plan offers more than 190 channels. Tivify’s most advanced plan’s line-up includes the premium channels AXN, AXN Movies, WarnerTV, TCM, Calle 13, SYFY, CNN, Mezzo, Mezzo Live, Private and Hustler, and improvements such as the availability of more space for recordings and the ability to view content on two devices at the same time.
Tivify also plans to incorporate new free thematic channels exclusive to the platform and add more thematic packages after the launch of Mundotoro TV last April.
