Starting today, Foxtel Platinum subscribers will be able to receive the Presto Entertainment bundle featuring streamed ad- free movies and TV shows as part of their subscription.

Presto allows Australians to experience entertainment from world leading TV production houses including HBO, 20th Century Fox, Showtime, CBS Studios International, Viacom International Media Networks, Hasbro Studios and the best local content from Foxtel, the Seven Network and ABC Commercial.

Ed Smith, Foxtel’s Executive Director of Sales and Marketing, said, “Presto has been rapidly building a leading presence among Australian subscription video on demand (SVOD) providers through great content tie-ups and a library of hit programming that serves as a great addition to the amazing content already available both live and on demand via Anytime on Foxtel.
"As some of our most dedicated customers, we wanted to ensure that our Platinum subscribers weren’t missing out, so we’re thrilled to give them access to Presto’s great SVOD content as part of their existing platinum subscription.”
