“The best network, best platform and best content are coming together to create a unique offering,” explains Dirk Wierzbitzki, Head of Residential Customers & Member of the Group Executive Board.
The cornerstone of the new offering is blue TV. As before, it is available through the Swisscom Box (or predecessor models). In addition:
Customers can also enjoy the comprehensive range of blue TV offerings in combination with the Swisscom Box. Only the Swisscom Box (or its predecessor, the UHD-Box) comes with both traditional television and attractive streaming services, including Netflix, Sky, OCS, Spotify, DAZN, YouTube and many more. Amazon’s streaming service, Prime Video, is now on the Swisscom Box too. New customers can sign-up for a 7-day free trial of Amazon Prime Video via www.primevideo.com; thereafter the access to Amazon Prime Video is available at 5.99 Euro per month. What’s more, Swiss sports fans will have the option of subscribing to MySports channels. As previously announced, these will be launched on the Swisscom Box within the next few weeks ,featuring top-tier ice hockey games and other sports.
Teleclub becomes blue+, the largest Swiss provider of exclusive sport, films, documentaries and series. All products are now available on all platforms at the same price; the sports content is also on pay-per-view – along with a huge range of the latest films, series and documentaries for rent or purchase. And all blue+ packages can be selected individually on the app:
blue+ is also increasing the amount of content produced in-house with interesting background information and discussions to accompany the top-flight European leagues, the UEFA Champions League and top Swiss football with among other features.
Renamed 'blue Cinema’, KITAG cinemas are also included in the blue world of experience. Employing state-of-the-art technology and providing additional entertainment, such as bowling or sports bars, blue Cinema is the cinema of the future. And, in addition to films, the cinema will also broadcast other content, such as live football matches or operas. The cinema: a place where great things begin – including great Swiss films. As one of the largest sponsors of Swiss filmmaking, Teleclub continues to invest tens of millions in the Swiss film industry. “My Wonderful Wanda”, which opens in cinemas in the autumn, is just one project to benefit from this funding.
blue.ch offers a complete overview of all the blue channels as well as direct access to blue TV, including on demand, blue+ and tickets for blue cinemas. This is complemented by bluenews.ch, which provides all the latest information about the blue world: with editorial tips, overviews, reviews and news – particularly from the world of entertainment and sports.
blue is also making waves in the area of gaming & eSports and gradually turning the Swisscom Box into a gaming platform: Twitch, the leading streaming platform for live gaming and eSports, is now available on a Swiss TV platform for the first time. It will also broadcast Swisscom Hero League. In addition, the internationally successful Stingray Karaoke app is now also available – party and family fun that is guaranteed to hit the right note... or perhaps not. And at the start of 2021, 'blue gaming’ will launch a cloud gaming flat rate for the many casual gamers in the country – both on the Swisscom Box and for mobile devices.
Wolfgang Elsässer, new Head of Entertainment at Swisscom: “Our mission is to inspire our customers throughout Switzerland with our unique entertainment worlds – any time and anywhere. blue represents a milestone in this.”
