Joyn

Joyn operates a two-sided freemium streaming model. On one side, it aggregates live television channels and on-demand content (including local and some international series and films) and distributes them via apps and web to end-users in Germany. On the other side, it monetises viewing time and reach by selling digital video advertising across its free, ad-supported tier, integrated into the broader ProSiebenSat.1 advertising sales infrastructure.

The company layers a premium subscription service, Joyn PLUS+, on top of this free tier. The premium service offers ad-free or reduced-ad streaming, additional HD live channels and exclusive content, in exchange for a recurring monthly fee. Value is created by retaining and shifting traditional TV audiences into a controlled streaming environment, generating digital ad inventory and subscription revenue, and enabling bundled offers with other group or partner services.

Joyn is a German streaming company operating a freemium video platform that combines live television channels with on-demand content. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE via Seven.One Entertainment Group GmbH and focuses on the German-speaking market, providing access on web, mobile, and connected-TV devices.

The platform generates revenue primarily through advertising sold against its free, ad-funded live TV and video-on-demand inventory, and through subscription fees from its premium tier, Joyn PLUS+. Joyn’s users are consumers who stream content, while its paying customers are both advertisers buying digital video advertising and viewers paying monthly subscription fees for the premium, largely ad-free service.
