Tubi Launching AVOD Service in Australia

Tubi is set to bring its free AVOD service with thousands of film and television titles to Australia.

From September 1, customers in Australia will have access to Tubi’s library of nearly 7,000 movies and TV series. Among the titles that will be immediately available on the service are 3:10 to Yuma, The Blair Witch Project, Kickboxer and Stranger Than Fiction, with Dirty Dancing, The Grudge, Requiem for a Dream, Reservoir Dogs, Saw, Traffic and Young Guns joining the catalog over the next six months.

Users in Australia will be able to acces Tubi via Telstra TV and Tubi.TV; through nearly any internet-connected screen, including Samsung TVs, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV and Google Chromecast; Apple iOS and Android tablets and smartphones; and game consoles, including PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Farhad Massoudi, CEO of Tubi, said: “We’re excited to offer Tubi in Australia, as the first of many launch initiatives to advance our global footprint. Our library size in Australia will expand rapidly in the coming months and eventually grow to our current library size in the U.S. of 15,000 titles—and beyond. We look forward to further activating new audiences who will discover the growing value of free video on demand.”
