Matthias Dang, Co-CEO RTL Deutschland: "The German streaming market is growing. But with more and more offers, the market is also becoming more confusing for users. We are therefore convinced that the variety of content, simplicity and price will be the decisive success factors in the streaming market. On RTL+, users can now access an extensive and top-class range of videos and music with a subscription - and at an unbeatable low price. We are thus starting the expansion of RTL+ into a comprehensive entertainment experience."
Stephan Schäfer, Co-CEO RTL Deutschland: "After video, music is the most popular content category in the streaming sector. We are therefore very pleased that we were able to win Deezer as a partner and are now launching the RTL+ music app on the market. We will continue to expand RTL+ successively, which will clearly distinguish it from the competition in the growth market of streaming."
Deezer and RTL have worked closely together in developing RTL+ Musik, ensuring a seamless integration, giving millions of subscribers access to one of the largest music catalogs in the world, including creative Deezer Originals such as InVersions 90s, as well as an intuitive user experience.
"It is exciting to see the first results of this major partnership, and we are looking forward to being a part of the continued growth of RTL+, giving millions of German consumers access to one of the world's most innovative, and recognized music streaming services," says Jeronimo Folgueira, CEO at Deezer. "Building successful partnerships is a key part of our strategy, and we are proud to support RTL Deutschland in providing unbeatable and unique entertainment experiences on RTL+."
RTL+ Musik will be available as part of the subscription of RTL+ Max in Germany. It will continue to evolve, with support from Deezer, adding additional content and features over time.
