SkyShowtime has secured its first Multichannel Video Programming Distributor (MVPD) agreement in the Dutch market.
A wide-ranging agreement with operator VodafoneZiggo will put the streaming service into several million households in the Netherlands.
From today (Wednesday) Ziggo customers can subscribe to SkyShowtime directly via Ziggo and start watching on the Mediabox Next and Next Mini. With the Voice Control-function on the remote, customers can easily find all content available on the SkyShowtime app. Searching for movies, series or actors is also possible directly from the main menu or while watching live TV.
Robin Kroes, Executive Director of Consumer Markets at VodafoneZiggo, said: “Introducing SkyShowtime is an important step in bringing together all big streaming services for Ziggo customers. Customers can quickly find and easily watch all their favourite titles in the best quality on our platform. This way, customers can enjoy a distinguishing entertainment-experience at Ziggo.”

As a streaming service created specifically for Europe, SkyShowtime is committed to working with distributors to serve subscribers. We are excited to work with the Ziggo team to bring our incredible line up of exclusive entertainment to their customers — all at an amazing price.”
Customers can get their SkyShowtime subscription directly through Ziggo meaning their subscription fee is billed via one single invoice.
