RTL+ (formerly TV Now) is the video-on-demand service of RTL Deutschland, the largest commercial broadcaster in Germany. It provides live streams of the broadcaster’s main free-to-air TV channels (such as RTL, VOX and n-tv) and catch-up programming for up to 30 days for free, with other content available for a monthly fee.

RTL+’s main competitor is Joyn, jointly run by ProSiebenSat.1 Media and Discovery, Inc.

RTL+

2021-present

It was announced in February 2021, well before the unveiling of RTL’s new corporate identity in June, that TV Now would be renamed to RTL+ later in 2021, and consequently the existing RTLplus channel would be renamed as well. On 15 September 2021, RTLplus changed its name to RTLup (along with the rebrand of the parent RTL channel), and on 4 November, TV Now rebranded to RTL+.
