Samsung TV Plus Europe is launching a new selection of IS content from A+E Media Group in the UK and Europe.
The 12 new FAST channels include many fan-favourite programmes from across the library of A+E Networks’ iconic global brands, including A&E The History Channel and Lifetime.
“Our partnership with A+E Media Group enriches Samsung TV Plus, delivering top-quality content to our audiences in the UK and across Europe,” said Jennifer Batty, Director of Content Partnerships, Samsung TV Plus. “The festive season is a key moment for advertisers, with families gathering to enjoy more shared viewing than at any other time year. By joining these celebrations, advertisers can reach highly engaged, receptive audiences, making this season a powerful opportunity for brand visibility and recall.”
Across Samsung TV owners, which account for 41% of UK households, viewers watch 20% more content on their televisions in December compared to the yearly average. And between Christmas and New Year, households continue to stream and watch far more television than any other time of year, with Samsung data showing that Boxing Day and December 28th are standout dates of the seasonal peak.
Mark Garner, EVP, Global FAST at A+E Networks added: “Expanding our reach to new viewers, while offering longtime fans additional ways to watch their favourite A+E series, helps us create even deeper connections with diverse audiences across regions.”
UK lovers of home renovations can enjoy Flipping Nation and Tiny House Nation, which follow John Weisbarth and Zack Giffin as they travel across America to interact with families from diverse backgrounds while building innovative living spaces.
For science and technology fans in the UK and Netherlands, Modern Marvels tells the amazing stories of the doers, dreamers and sometime-schemers who create everyday items, technological advancements and man-made wonders. It is the History Channel’s first and longest-running programme, launching over 34 years ago.
Audiences in the UK, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, will also get to binge-watch several American reality classics that have inspired cult-followings. These include Duck Dynasty, following the ups and downs of the wealthy Robertson family and their business of making products for duck hunters; Dog the Bounty Hunter, chronicling Duane “Dog” Chapman’s experiences as a bounty hunter; Ice Road Truckers, an insight into truckers with nerves of steel who take their lives in their hands driving heavily loaded vehicles across frozen lakes to deliver supplies to remote locations in Canada and Alaska; and Ax Men, the logging crews trying to make a living and facing dangers as they work in the second-growth forests of several states across the United States (only available in UK and Netherlands).
