Samsung TV Plus expands to 12 countries with over 740 channels

December 28, 2020 16.43 Europe/London By Robert Briel

Samsung Electronics has announced that Samsung TV Plus, Samsung’s free Smart TV video service, has now expanded to 12 countries and 742 channels worldwide, bringing access to over 60 million Samsung Smart TVs.

Since launching in 2015, Samsung TV Plus has become one of the most popular OTT streaming services. Integrated into Samsung’s Smart TV platform, TV Plus is 100% free, no subscriptions or credit cards needed. The service comes pre-installed on Samsung Smart TVs dating back to 2016 and has recently launched the service on select Samsung Galaxy devices in the US.

TV Plus now partners with around 300 broadcast networks, content platforms and digital creators to provide Samsung Smart TV owners a premium at-home viewing experience. With the new expansion, Samsung continues to add top tier channels and content familiar with TV viewers.

“Throughout the pandemic, we have seen how consumers spend time at home and how much they value access to great media content,” said Seline Sangsook Han, Senior Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics.

“We have seen TVs become the center of entertainment – from being a source of news to a streaming on-demand partner. With our latest expansion into new markets and content line-up, we hope that TV Plus continues to be a premium at-home destination for Samsung Smart TV users all over the world.”

Recent platform expansions have brought the total market presence to 12, with new additions that include Australia and Brazil; existing markets include the US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria, Switzerland and Korea.

In 2021, Samsung will continue to expand TV Plus to other markets, with plans to launch in Mexico, India, Sweden and more European countries. Samsung Galaxy device users can also expect added functionality and additional devices to become available in the coming months.
