“Pluto TV has grown consistently since it launched outside of the US two years ago. In Europe and the UK, we’ve increased both our user base and our channel offering on a monthly basis,” said Pierluigi Gazzolo, President Studios and Streaming, ViacomCBS Networks International. “Now, with browser access, anyone who wants to enjoy Pluto TV’s premium channels can do so even more easily than before. This is an important feature, as we aim to continue to grow our offering in Europe, the UK and beyond.”
In addition to its new browser accessibility, Pluto TV is available for its UK viewers via third-party connected devices Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, Roku, Virgin Media, NowTV and as a mobile app in the App Store and Google Play Store.
Pluto TV is becoming increasingly central to ViacomCBS’s streaming strategy. As of the end of Q2, CEO Bob Bakish said that Pluto Pluto “is really cranking” with the free-to-view AVOD registering 33 million monthly active users – with 26.5 million of those coming from the US.
Bakish said that Pluto will “move in parallel” with the company’s upcoming ‘super service’ which will launch next year.
In addition to Europe, Pluto TV is also available in the USA and Latin America, and is expected to launch in Brazil and Spain by the end of the year and France and Italy in 2021.
