FilmBox was launched in the country last May and is currently offered in the basic packages of Canal Digitaal, DELTA, Caiway, Online.nl, Kabelnoord, Plinq, SKP, Trined and Breedband Helmond. With the addition of FilmBox to Ziggo, the channel will be available in over three million Dutch households.
Commenting on the Ziggo launch, Jeroen Bergman, MD Film1 and FilmBox Netherlands, said: “Overwhelming feedback from Dutch TV viewers shows how frustrating it is to interrupt a film several times for a commercial break. It was high time to do something about it. FilmBox is already a huge success on all the platforms that have been broadcasting it since last year and has proven its appeal abroad for many years. The channel is a wonderful addition to our premium proposition Film1, and we are proud of the trust that Ziggo places in us”.
Raymond van der Vliet, director programming & content at VodafoneZiggo, added: “We are very pleased to add FilmBox to our extensive TV offering. FilmBox fits perfectly in our aim to provide customers access to their favourite content with the best quality and viewing experience. The viewing of ad break-free programs and the high-quality films and series of FilmBox helps our customers get a great tv-experience”.
SPI is active in the Netherlands with multiple brands including Film1, FilmBox, FilmBox Arthouse and Turkish series channel Dizi (via Amazon Prime), Docustream and Filmstream (via Samsung TV Plus) and a range of films at Pathé Thuis. Film1 has tripled the number of subscribers in recent years and FilmBox is available via the majority of Dutch operators. Read More...
