REELZ has entered the direct-to-consumer streaming market with REELZ+, offering live and on-demand access to its programming, including the hit show On Patrol: Live.
Here’s the Lowdown: REELZ+ is now available in the US for $4.99 per month, or $49.99 per year with a special introductory offer. The app provides access to the live REELZ channel, along with full on-demand episodes of On Patrol: Live, On Patrol: First Shift, and other REELZ original series and documentaries. Viewers who already subscribe to REELZ through cable or satellite can access REELZ+ for free via authentication.
What This Means Now: Fans of On Patrol: Live and other REELZ content now have a dedicated streaming option, making it easier to watch their favorite shows. The app is currently accessible through reelzplus.com, Roku, and Amazon Fire, with more platforms coming soon.
The Bigger Picture: This move shows REELZ adapting to the changing media landscape, where direct-to-consumer streaming is becoming increasingly important. By offering its own app, REELZ can reach a wider audience and build a direct relationship with its viewers. It also gives a platform for its work with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and the Black and Missing Foundation (BAMFI), with whom they partner on On Patrol: Live to help find missing people.
