Late Thursday evening Pluto TV Canada announced its launch, in partnership with Corus Entertainment, debuted in the country streaming over 20,000 hours of free programming to Canadians.
Pluto TV Canada said that the launch marked “Pluto TV’s most robust content at launch offering to-date, introducing a diverse lineup of over 110 thematic and single-series channels curated from a library containing thousands of titles from Paramount and global media partners.”
“I am thrilled to officially introduce Pluto TV to Canadian audiences, bringing them a fantastic lineup that combines the best of Corus’ Canadian content, Paramount’s deep library and more than 100 third-party partners. The union of Pluto TV and Corus delivers the best of both worlds, debuting a free streaming destination for fans, and creating opportunities for advertisers, offering a premium inventory in a brand safe TV environment,” said Olivier Jollet, Executive Vice President & International General Manager for Pluto TV.
Troy Reeb, Corus Entertainment Vice President of Broadcast Networks added, “The debut of Pluto TV marks the next evolution of streaming in Canada, as Corus celebrates the launch alongside Paramount Global as partners in both content and ad sales.”
