Norway: Rakuten TV on Altibox TV
September 12, 2024
Rakuten TV – the European streaming platforms – is now available on Altibox, the Norweigan ISP and television service provider. Rakuten TV’s app is now integrated into Altibox’s set-top boxes allowing users to watcg two services tailored to various viewing preferences:
- Free: More than 600 movies on demand supported by advertisements (AVOD). A vast library of movies and TV shows without any subscription fees.
- Live TV: Over 130 live TV channels at no cost, supported by advertisements (FAST). This includes a mix of popular channels and exclusive content.
Altibox customers can look forward to iconic Rakuten TV channels including ‘Top Movies Channel’, ‘Action Channel’, ‘Comedy Channel’ or ‘Drama Channel’ together with a diverse selection of movies available on demand.
Jorge del Puerto, European Head of Partnerships and Business Development at Rakuten TV, commented: “Rakuten TV fits perfectly into Altibox’s content strategy. In their continuous efforts to provide the best service, they are not only looking to provide more content to their customers but also clearly aim to secure high quality content, which is undoubtedly the cornerstone of Rakuten TV. There is a vast amount of FAST/AVoD content currently available in the market, but very little of it is truly high quality, that’s why Rakuten TV is becoming extremely popular across Nordic countries.”
The partnership with Altibox arrives within the context of other partnerships signed by Rakuten TV in the last two years with some of the biggest telco providers in Europe such as Orange in Spain, 1&1 in Germany and Virgin Media in UK.
