Dailymotion launches subscription movie service in Turkey

French video site Dailymotion has launched a movie subscription service, Dailymotion Plus, in Turkey – one of the firm’s biggest markets. 

The service, Dailymotion’s first subscription film offering, will include thousands of titles tailored for a Turkish audience – spanning genres including adventure, thriller,  comedy as well as animation, art and adult genres.

The service is a joint venture with local player MCD Group and launches after two years in development. It is based on a monthly membership system that has no contract requirement.

“Dailymotion has one of the world’s most robust and reliable video players and a track record of securing excellent content deals around the globe. Turkish viewers make up one of our most dedicated audiences and have shown an appetite for streamed long form content. This, combined with Turkey’s strong investment in mobile internet, makes Turkey an ideal place for our first SVOD service,” said Dailymotion COO Martin Rogard.
