\n Warner Bros. Discovery has acquired BluTV, a subscript<\/a>ion video-on-demand service\u202fin Turkey, the company said on Friday. <\/p>\n

\n Financial terms weren\u2019t disclosed.<\/p>\n

\n \u201cThe announcement follows three years of extensive partnership, which started in 2021 with the launch of Discovery+ on BluTV and an investment by Discovery Inc. that made the company a 35 percent shareholder of BluTV,\u201d WBD said. \u201cOne of the components of the partnership was the option to invest further in BluTV, which has now resulted in the acquisition of the rapidly growing SVOD service.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n BluTV launched in Turkey in 2016 and then in the Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA) region in 2018. It is also available globally to Turkish- and Arabic-speaking audiences. <\/p>\n

\n The streamer offers premium BluTV originals, Turkish TV series<\/a> and movies, as well as Hollywood and international series and films. \u201cBluTV offers more than 10,000 hours of on-demand premium content and live channels to BluTV subscribers,\u201d the company says. Its website lists such Hollywood content as The Last of Us<\/em>, The Handmaid\u2019s Tale<\/em> and Friends<\/em>. BluTV says it has so far featured 26 original productions.\u202f\u202f<\/p>\n

\n As part of their strategic partnership, Discovery+ was made available on BluTV in 2021, giving subscribers access to such brands as Discovery Channel, TLC, DMAX and ID in a dedicated branded area. In addition, viewers can watch live sports via the firm\u2019s Eurosport 1 and 2.\u00a0In February, the merged WBD added HBO content and kids channels Cartoon Network and Cartoonito to BluTV, adding such series as Game<\/a> of Thrones<\/em>, Sex and the City<\/em> and Tom & Jerry<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n WBD didn\u2019t disclose how many subscribers BluTV has, but said it \u201chas demonstrated a strong growth trajectory thanks to its focus on original content and content library.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n WBD CEO David Zaslav said on the company\u2019s third-quarter earnings conference call that his team was looking to invest in growth initiatives, with the Turkish deal being part of that global growth drive.\u00a0In recent days, much Wall Street talk has also centered on a possible WBD play for Paramount Global after news<\/a> that Zaslav has held early exploratory conversations about a potential deal. <\/p>\n

\n \u201cTurkey has been an important investment territory for us for over 20 years, and the acquisition of BluTV brings Turkey\u2019s first\u202flocal\u202fSVOD player into our portfolio,\u201d said Jamie Cooke, GM CEE, Middle East & Turkey of Warner Bros. Discovery. \u201cThe combination of compelling Turkish content and a broad range of the best international series and shows from Warner Bros. Discovery is an unbeatable recipe to be locally relevant and successful. Together we bring Turkish audiences the most compelling viewing experience and expand the reach of Turkish content globally.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Added Deniz \u015ea\u015fmaz Oflaz, CEO\u202fof BluTV:\u00a0\u201cAs Turkey\u2019s leading local subscription video platform, we are proud that our steady growth since day one has made us a part of one of the largest media<\/a> companies in the world. From now on, we will blend the best local stories we have ever presented to our viewers with the world\u2019s best global content to curate Turkey\u2019s strongest streaming platform and bring our most successful local stories to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
