Katja Hofem, managing director of Joyn, talks to World Screen about what sets the streaming service apart in the digital landscape and how it’s been received by viewers so far.
A joint venture of ProSiebenSat.1 and Discovery, Joyn arrived on the streaming scene in Germany last June. The app launched with Germany’s biggest range of free-TV content, and there are now live streams from over 50 channels. Its offering includes original commissions, among them the political thriller Dignity. A premium version, Joyn PLUS+, has been rolled out since, with an extended roster available for a monthly fee.
