Rakuten TV & TalkTalk TV Enter SVOD Pact

Rakuten TV, a VOD platform in Europe, has partnered with the pay-TV provider TalkTalk TV to offer its users a new SVOD service with access to a catalog of top films.

Per the deal, the service will be available to TalkTalk TV customers who subscribed to a TalkTalk TV “Boost” from July 1. As part of their subscription, TalkTalk TV Boost customers will gain access to the new Rakuten TV Movie Club, which features a movie library with titles that will be refreshed each week.

The partnership with TalkTalk TV follows Rakuten TV’s announcement earlier this year of its extension plans, which saw the platform triple its distribution from 12 to 42 countries to reach more than 30 million European households.
