LA-based Pluto TV, a Paramount company, and Fremantle have signed a global deal to distribute 25 of the international media company’s FAST channels across 13 countries, and launch a new offering in Canada.
The partnership will see 24 of Fremantle’s most popular offerings roll out to Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, Italy, San Marino, Demark, Norway, Finland, Sweden, the UK and the U.S.
The channels include landmark media brands such as Baywatch, Family Feud Classic, Let’s Make A Deal, The Price Is Right: Bob Barker, The Price Is Right: Drew Carey, Alarm Fur Cobra, Project Runway, Prisoner and Jamie Oliver.
The deal will also see a Three’s Company channel launch for the first time outside of the U.S., making its Canadian debut later this summer. The partners have previously teamed to launch Canadian FAST channels that include Baywatch (English and French), Supermarket Sweep, Family Feud Classic, Let’s Make A Deal and The Price Is Right.
