SPI/FilmBox and Megogo, one of the largest OTT/VOD services in Eastern Europe and the CIS, have extended their distribution deal for three more years.
They have also made SPI’s premium series hub Dizi available to Megogo subscribers in a number of countries.
According to the deal, Dizi content will be offered both via the linear feed of Timeless Dizi Channel and as stand-alone VOD through the platform. The on-demand content delivered to Megogo within the scope of the agreement will also include movies, documentaries and lifestyle programming.
Commenting on the development, Murat Muratoglu, head of distribution at SPI International, said: “The success that Timeless Dizi Channel has reached globally since its launch has been remarkable. Now, we are excited to bring the riveting world of Dizi to digital through a partnership with Megogo, one of the most prominent players in CIS. Megogo subscribers will be able to keep up with their favourite Turkish series with the linear feed or watch the episodes on-demand at their leisure”.
Ivan Shestakov, chief innovation officer at Megogo, added: “Turkish content is one of the most popular for our customers. We are glad to have such a great possibility to explore the Turkish culture, history and social life together. Thanks to our collaboration with SPI International/FilmBox, our users will get even more interesting content”.
