Customers to the Swedish Tele2 network will receive an expanded selection of Viaplay channels and streaming services following a new agreement between the operator and NENT.
Viaplay will be directly available through Tele2 Play, which gives Tele2’s customers access to Viaplay’s entire range of movies and series, including over 150 exclusive Viaplay Originals. Tele2’s Premium customers will also get access to Viaplay Total, which includes Premier League, NHL hockey and Formula 1 racing.
“We are happy to join forces with one of the strongest content providers on the Swedish market,” says Kjell Johnsen, President and CEO of Tele2 (left). “This partnership benefits both parties and we can offer our customers even more premium content in one place without them having to obtain more services or subscriptions.”
Anders Jensen, NENT Group President and CEO added: “The timing is ideal – this year, we will premiere more than 70 Viaplay Originals and the hottest Hollywood blockbusters, and become the new home for both the top league in women’s football, Damallsvenskan, and men’s national team football. We will continue to build Viaplay Vinter and of course continue with Premier League, Formula 1, NHL and much more.”
In January Tele2 launched a new streaming package with linear channels and re-named the streaming service to Tele2 Play+. As of today (Wednesday), Tele2 is updating its channel packages to Standard, Flexible and Premium and at the same time Tele2 Play + will be included in all TV packages.
