BBC Studios Benelux has officially launched BBC NL+ its new video on demand and streaming platform available to both subscribers of KPN TV+ and NLZIET.
Run by the Dutch public broadcasting system, the agreement with NLZIET is the second partnership for the streaming platform, following the earlier confirmation for KPN TV+.
To complement BBC Studios’ linear channel BBC NL, which has recently achieved its best-ever audience share and remains the most popular international channel in the Netherlands, viewers can now enjoy handpicked collections across drama, comedy, documentaries, soaps, entertainment, lifestyle and natural history, all localised with Dutch subtitles.
Additionally, audiences can tune into a live stream of BBC NL as well as FAST channels Top Gear and BBC Drama.
Viewers can access BBC NL+ through the NLZIET app on smart devices as well as the integrated app on KPN TV+.
Bram Husken, SVP & General Manager Benelux and Nordics at BBC Studios said: “Today marks a momentous occasion for BBC Studios Benelux as we launch BBC NL+ with not one but two affiliates in the Netherlands. This fantastic partnership with NLZIET alongside KPN increases the service’s reach with audiences who will have access to a new range of content which showcases the most powerful, entertaining and inspiring storytelling from the best of your British neighbours. Dutch audiences are huge fans of British shows and we’re delighted they will have access to homegrown stories from the BBC and beyond.”
Niels Baas, CEO of NLZIET adds: “With the free addition of BBC NL+, we’re treating our viewers to even more top-quality international series and programs. This makes NLZIET the streaming service for the most complete offering of both Dutch and international premium content.”
BBC content remains popular with Dutch viewers, who continue to enjoy access to BBC One and BBC Two – and on some networks BBC Three and BBC Four.
