TEN looks to join Presto

If TEN joins Presto streaming service, subscribers could be seeing additional content from TEN.

Today’s confirmation that Foxtel will buy a 15% stake in Network TEN will see TEN take an interest in streaming service Presto.

According to today’s statement, TEN will have an option for two years to become at 10% shareholder in Presto TV Pty Limited.

Presto TV is jointly owned by Foxtel and Seven at 50% each.

It’s not clear if Foxtel will reduce its ownership to a 40% stake for two years.

The move would likely see some TEN content added to the streaming service, leaving Foxtel, Seven and TEN aligned with Presto while Nine is the only network going it alone on Stan.

The deal announced today is yet to be approved by the regulator, ACCC.

  1. Ten doesn’t have the money to buy into Presto at the moment, which is why they are taking an option for future. It does mean Ten’s unrealistic plans for monetising content on Tenplay are dead and buried.

    So its Presto (Foxtel, Seven, Ten) against Stan (Nine, Fairfax) to see who runs 3rd behind Netflix and iView. When a better alternative for consumers would have been something in the style of Hulu.
