Watch4 secures German and UK deals with Huawei

Advertising-supported streaming service Watch4 has secured a distribution agreement with smartphone giant Huawei for its TV service in Germany and the UK.

The Watch4 service is now accessible on Huawei Video in Germany, while Watch4’s UK service W4Free is also now available on Huawei Video throughout the country. Both services provide Huawei customers with access to hundreds of hours of free content.

Watch4 and W4Free will be integrated in Huawei Video which is pre-installed on Huawei devices that run EMU 8.0 and above. Others can also download Huawei Video from the AppGallery.

“The launch of Watch4 and W4Free on Huawei Video is a great step forward in our strategy to be within easy reach of consumers in all of our key markets,” said Philipp Rotermund, CEO of Watch4.

“Huawei has been rapidly expanding its Huawei Video platform in Europe and we are delighted to be working with them to make our content available to their millions of users in the UK and Germany.

Jamie Gonzalo, VP of Huawei Mobile Services Europe said: “At Huawei, our goal is to provide our customers with the best, high-definition video experiences. Watch4 and W4Free provide a wide variety of free entertainment experiences in one convenient interface. These services are a valuable addition to our platforms in these regions and a real bonus for consumers.”
