MTV+ Lands on Amazon’s Prime Video Channels in Germany, Austria

Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) has revealed the launch of the MTV+ Prime Video Channel on Amazon in Germany and Austria, among other deals across Europe and Africa.

Under the agreement, Prime members can add MTV+ to their existing subscription for a monthly fee. The new deal gives Amazon Prime Video members the ability to access the linear MTV Brand New channel and a variety of premium MTV content on demand.

Meanwhile, VIMN entered a multiyear pact with Vodafone in Turkey for more than 300 hours of SVOD content, versioned in Turkish, from Nickelodeon, Nick Jr. and Teennick, which will be distributed exclusively through the Vodafone TV app.

And in Africa, VIMN will launch several of its global brands, including Nickelodeon, MTV, MTV Base and Comedy Central, on MTN’s Shortz streaming platform.

“We are pursuing a diversified and extensive multiplatform strategy,” said Raffaele Annecchino, the president and managing director of VIMN’s Southern and Western Europe, Middle East and Africa business cluster. “We are a company that produces premium long-form and short-form content for every platform. We are excited to be working with great partners like Amazon in Germany, MTN in Africa and Vodafone as we continue to evaluate each market for new opportunities and unlock value through both traditional and non-traditional distribution partners.”
