Toronto/Dublin/Los Angeles November 21, 2017 - QYOU Media (TSXV: QYOU), the worlds leading curator of premium best-of-web video for multiscreen distribution, today announces its linear channel will be available as part of Youfones programming line-up on its recently launched OTT service, YoufoneTV.

Youfone is a rapidly growing sim-only provider in the Netherlands, targeting millennials who do not want to be tied into long contracts, preferring to use the device of their choice. To extend its reach among this audience, Youfone launched a new digital OTT service called YoufoneTV last year. The service is targeted at the 18-39 demographic and offers freedom to choose how they watch the highest quality TV. Youfone selected QYOUs expertly curated best-of-the-web channel to meet the tastes of consumers raised on a diet of short form video and viral media.
Tim Seegers, Content Manager, Youfone TV commented: Millennials are on the move all the time and comfortable with using a range of devices. YoufoneTV is therefore designed for a highly mobile audience with a multiscreen offering that suits their lifestyles. For Youfone to be successful we need to feature entertainment that reflects the tastes and interests of our younger customers - QYOUs channel helps us do exactly that.
The new distribution agreement shows the growing momentum of online video content in the Netherlands.
Curt Marvis, CEO and Co-Founder, QYOU Media says: There is no doubt that the Netherlands is leading the world when it comes to evolving content strategies that meet the needs of millennial audiences. This is shown clearly by the fact this is our fifth agreement in the country in the last two years. Were really excited to work with Youfone to introduce more Dutch viewers to the never-dull, always-entertaining world of QYOU.
