Acorn TV expands to 30 more countries

December 11, 2018 16.32 Europe/London By Robert Briel

Acorn TV, North America’s OTT streaming service for British and international television, is now available in thirty new countries, including ten European countries.

Consumers can now visit acorn.tv to subscribe and watch Acorn TV, or access Acorn TV via apps on Apple TV, Android, iPhone, iPads, and Roku streaming players. The programmes will be in English-language with English and Spanish subtitles available. The Acorn TV streaming service is available for $4.99 per month.

In Europe Acorn TV is now available in Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg. Programming comes from Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Canada, and other European countries.

RLJ Entertainment launched the OTT service in the US and Canada in 2011 and expanded internationally in June 2018 to twelve Latin American countries and continues to expand worldwide.

Matthew Graham, SVP and GM for RLJ Entertainment’s Acorn TV, said, “Acorn TV is doing phenomenally well in North America, so we’re thrilled to continue to take the Acorn TV experience globally with 30 new countries. We are excited for global fans of British and international drama and mystery to discover the wonders of Acorn TV with addictive series featuring stellar acting, beautiful settings, and gripping storylines.”

RLJ Entertainment is a privately owned subsidiary of AMC Networks, serving distinct audiences primarily through its OTT branded channels, Acorn TV (British TV) and UMC (Urban Movie Channel).
