With Joyn in Austria, the ProSiebenSat.1 Group is launching another streaming service in German-speaking countries. Like its German counterpart, Joyn also relies on an extensive range of live TV and a large free and therefore advertising-financed AVOD area in the Alpine republic and, as an aggregation platform, on many successful partnerships. Other private providers as well as public service offerings have also been there from the start, both in live streams and on demand. In addition, Joyn offers a radio player in Austria that bundles the programs from all major private and public radio stations. Joyn is also available in Austria via smartphones, tablets, web and smart TVs. The new platform is managed by the Austrian subsidiary ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 and will replace the country’s most successful streaming app Zappn in the future.
Wolfgang Linkboard member of ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE and CEO of the Seven.One Entertainment Group: “With a clear focus on advertising-financed AVoD offers and a comprehensive live streaming area, Joyn in Austria will build on the convincing concept of its German sister and the success story by Zappn. For us as a group, this is an important step in order to further expand our strong streaming offer under one brand in the German-speaking area. I wish the PULS 4 team around Markus Breitenecker every success with the launch. As an independent brand, Joyn in Austria can take the regional needs of the users into account particularly well and at the same time benefit from the lively exchange about attractive content and successful product features with the colleagues in Germany. I am particularly pleased that Joyn in Austria has the best content right from the start numerous private and public broadcasters in Austria combined on its platform, both in the live TV area and in the media library.”
Markus BreiteneckerCEO ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 and Joyn Austria: “With Joyn, Austria is getting the most comprehensive, free live streaming player to date: Joyn is the platform that unites everyone, public and private media providers, who want our media location in Austria and can positively influence the development of moving images and radio in Austria. Joyn replaces our successful Zappn app and offers over 50 live channels right from the start – from ATV and PULS 4 to ORF 1, ProSieben, SAT.1, Servus TV to N24 Doku, Welt, Euronews and DAZN and more than 30 live radio stations. Joyn offers the best programs in Austria on demand. We will also invest in Austrian Joyn Exclusives and start with the launch of Joyn with the new series ‘Food Fellas’ . I look forward to working closely with our colleagues in Germany.”
Tassilo RaesigCEO Joyn GmbH: “Together we will expand Joyn into the largest entertainment and lifestyle brand for the whole family in the DACH region and offer users a unique streaming experience. I am pleased that we are expanding our cooperation with the Austrian college: internally and wish Markus Breitenecker and his team all the best for the start.”
In Germany, Joyn is at the center of ProSiebenSat.1’s digital entertainment presence, clearly relies on an advertising-financed AVOD model and, as an aggregator of high-quality entertainment and information content, remains open to partners.
The German streaming platform Joyn was founded in 2017 as a joint venture with Discovery. Joyn GmbH has been a wholly owned subsidiary of ProSiebenSat.1 since November 2022.
