DIGI Romania to launch SkyShowtime

April 25, 2024 12.49 Europe/London By Julian Clover

Two premium linear channels are part of a new agreement for the launch of SkyShowtime on the Romanian network Digi.

The telecommunications operator is launching the full SkyShowtime service in the streamers first B2B partnership in Central and Eastern Europe.

As part of a special launch promotion, DIGI will make SkyShowtime available to all current digital TV subscribers in Romania at no additional charge until 15 July.

Following the end of the promotional period, DIGI customers will be able to subscribe to SkyShowtime as part of new bundled offers that will be announced in the coming months.

SkyShowtime CEO, Monty Sarhan said: “From the start, SkyShowtime has been focused on building partnerships with leading television providers in our markets. And now, less than one year after launching in Romania, we are extremely proud to enter this new partnership with DIGI, expanding SkyShowtime’s reach and availability to over two million customers.”

DIGI TV customers will have authenticated access to all of SkyShowtime’s entertainment, including the latest blockbuster theatrical releases from Paramount and Universal, big exclusive series – including all episodes of the global hit Yellowstone and its spin-offs 1883 and 1923 – along with a growing roster of SkyShowtime Original Series.

“As the media landscape continues to evolve, our goal remains the same – to bring extensive and unrivalled content to our customers. For DIGI, providing a quality service means investment in cutting-edge technology, and key partnerships such as the one with SkyShowtime will help us deliver an enhanced entertainment experience. We are happy to announce the agreement to broadcast SkyShowtime channels in the Romanian market, by pursuing our mission to reach millions of homes with a variety of compelling programmes”, said Serghei Bulgac, CEO of DIGI Communications N.V.

DIGI Customers will also be able to watch SkyShowtime Original series such as Poker Face, and The Curse, Veronika, as well as the upcoming The Tattooist of Auschwitz starring Harvey Keitel. They will also enjoy big exclusive global shows including the new hit Lawmen: Bass Reeves, Special Ops: Lioness starring Zoe Saldana and Nicole Kidman, HALO, Star Trek: Discovery, Ted, and Tulsa King starring Sylvester Stallone. Fan-favourites and box sets include Dexter, Frasier, The Office, Ray Donovan, and more.
