Another extra
Anyone who subscribes to the sport must purchase an additional Sport Add-on. This includes reporting on major international and European sports. Such an add-on costs another five euros per month. Although the offer differs per country depending on the rights. For example, the spring classics in cycling are largely in the hands of VRT. The Olympic Games in Paris would be available for every subscription.
What does that mean for Streamz?
The Belgian streaming service loses an important partner with the arrival of HBO Max. A large part will disappear at Streamz. Only the series that were released last year will expire their license period. Think of The regime with Kate Winslet and Matthias Schoenaerts. This will remain on board until March 3, 2025. Just like series that will be released between now and June 30, such as House of the dragon. It will remain on Streamz for twelve months after release.
Streamz had already armed itself against the departure of HBO content by focusing on Flemish series, and other international players such as Paramount have now been brought on board. According to the latest media survey Digimeter, Streamz reaches 15 percent of Flemish people. Netflix is the undisputed market leader with 48 percent, followed by Disney+ with 21 percent.
