The add-on will be available as a dedicated branded area across all of StarzPlay\u2019s existing platforms. StarzPlay subscribers can enjoy BluTV\u2019s Turkish portfolio free for the first three months.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, the streaming service launched two add-on services in partnership with the global brands discovery+ and UFC.<\/p>\n<p>Danny Bates, CCO and co-founder of StarzPlay, said: \u201cIn the highly competitive SVOD sector, it is important to update our content offering continuously and provide diversified entertainment choices that are relevant to our subscribers. Our partnership with BluTV is an extension of our business strategy for 2021 as we continue to make inroads in content aggregation. BluTV\u2019s portfolio offers a wide breadth of compelling programming driven by family-oriented storytelling and we are confident that these Turkish series will be enjoyed by all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aydin Dogan Yalcindag, founder and CEO of BluTV, said: \u201cWe are excited to partner with the Middle East\u2019s leading streamer service provider which offers us a fantastic opportunity to bring compelling stories for fans of Turkish entertainment in the region. Turkish programming has a massive following in the Arab World and as pioneers of the Turkish SVOD market, we are thrilled to extend our offering for fans in the region. Our investor, US TV giant Discovery, has an established partnership with StarzPlay in the MENA region, which presented a great opportunity to expand our services into new markets and offer true value to customers. We look forward to working with StarzPlay and taking Turkish entertainment to a whole new level.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>StarzPlay has launched a new add-on in partnership with BluTV, an SVOD service that is globally available for all Turkish and Arabic-speaking audiences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":2120,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[512,468],"class_list":["post-2119","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-blutv","tag-starzplay"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>StarzPlay Offering BluTV Add-On - TVMEA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"StarzPlay has launched a new add-on in partnership with BluTV, an SVOD service that is globally available for all Turkish and Arabic-speaking audiences.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvmiddleeastafrica\/starzplay-offering-blutv-add-on\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"StarzPlay Offering BluTV Add-On - TVMEA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"StarzPlay has launched a new add-on in partnership with BluTV, an SVOD service that is globally available for all Turkish and Arabic-speaking audiences.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvmiddleeastafrica\/starzplay-offering-blutv-add-on\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVMEA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-04-13T15:28:49+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-04-13T15:54:29+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvmiddleeastafrica\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2015\/09\/STARZPLAY-BluTV-Partnership-421.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvmiddleeastafrica\/starzplay-offering-blutv-add-on\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvmiddleeastafrica\/starzplay-offering-blutv-add-on\/\",\"name\":\"StarzPlay Offering BluTV Add-On - TVMEA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvmiddleeastafrica\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-04-13T15:28:49+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-04-13T15:54:29+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvmiddleeastafrica\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"description\":\"StarzPlay has launched a new add-on in partnership with BluTV, an SVOD service that is globally available for all Turkish and Arabic-speaking audiences.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvmiddleeastafrica\/starzplay-offering-blutv-add-on\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvmiddleeastafrica\/starzplay-offering-blutv-add-on\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvmiddleeastafrica\/starzplay-offering-blutv-add-on\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvmiddleeastafrica\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"StarzPlay Offering BluTV Add-On\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvmiddleeastafrica\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvmiddleeastafrica\/\",\"name\":\"TVMEA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvmiddleeastafrica\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvmiddleeastafrica\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
