Voyo is a Czech subscription video on demand service owned by Central European Media Enterprises (CME). Originally launched in Czech Republic in 2011 as a free archive of programs produced by every national television channel owned by CME and a platform for live broadcasting of original programming and sports broadcasts,[1][2] the service expanded through Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, and Slovenia.
The service gradually transformed into a paid service modeled after the American Netflix. The range of available programs is regularly changed; according to the operator, there are more than 2,000 movies and series. The service also provides live broadcasts of sports channels.[3] On the portal, it is also possible to watch films, series and programs a day or a week earlier than their television broadcast.[4]
In Czech Republic
[edit]From 2021, original series and feature films are released on Voyo under the label Voyo Originals, which are exclusively available only on this platform.[5]
