BBC NL+ Expands Reach

BBC NL+, a new VOD and streaming service from BBC Studios Benelux, has clinched a deal to launch on NLZIET in the Netherlands.

Subscribers of NLZIET can now access the service, joining previously announced launch partner KPN. The platform delivers a curated selection of dramas, comedies, docs, soaps, entertainment, lifestyle and natural history, localized with Dutch subtitles. It also carries the BBC NL linear channel and FAST services like Top Gear and BBC Drama.

Bram Husken, senior VP and general manager for the Benelux and Nordics at BBC Studios, said: “This fantastic partnership with NLZIET alongside KPN increases the service’s reach with audiences who will have access to a new range of content which showcases the most powerful, entertaining and inspiring storytelling from the best of your British neighbors. Dutch audiences are huge fans of British shows and we’re delighted they will have access to homegrown stories from the BBC and beyond.”

Niels Baas, CEO of NLZIET, said: “With the free addition of BBC NL+, we’re treating our viewers to even more top-quality international series and programs. This makes NLZIET the streaming service for the most complete offering of both Dutch and international premium content.”
