Marking the first rollout of its premium catch-up TV brand on a third-party platform, German public broadcaster ZDF has launched ZDF select on Amazon Prime Video Channels.
For €4.99 per month, Amazon Prime customers in Germany and Austria gain access to ZDF series, films and documentaries that are no longer available in the regular, free catch-up TV service ZDFmediathek. The offer can be tested free of charge for 14 days.
Integrated into ZDF select are ZDF’s existing Amazon Prime Video channels: ZDF Krimi (€2.99/month), ZDF Herzkino (€2.99/month), Terra X (€2.99/month) and ZDFtivi (€3.99/month). The individual channels remain available à la carte in parallel.
ZDF select, together with ZDFtivi, ARD Plus and ARD Plus Kids, debuted on Deutsche Telekom’s IPTV platform MagentaTV in October 2018 where it was offered exclusively until now.
