Joyn, also known as Joyn GmbH, is a privately owned subsidiary of ProSiebenSat.1 Media headquartered in Germany, specifically in Unterföhring, Munich. Founded in 2019 and employing approximately 220 individuals, the company reported $128.4M in revenue as of 2024. As a tier 1 media tech buyer, it specializes in media and TV services. Functioning as a video streaming and live-TV aggregator service, Joyn was launched as a successor to 7TV and Maxdome. It was originally established as a 50/50 joint venture between ProSiebenSat.1 Media and Warner Bros. Discovery. In late 2022, ProSiebenSat.1 acquired Discovery’s remaining 50% stake, solidifying Joyn as a wholly owned subsidiary and a core digital engine within ProSiebenSat.1's entertainment ecosystem. The platform serves monthly active users across the Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (DACH) region, operating on a hybrid business model that prioritizes free, ad-supported video-on-demand (AVOD) alongside a paid premium tier.
Joyn's German streaming app offers free live channels and catch-up shows for mobile viewers, featuring content such as SAT.1 Frühstücksfernsehen. This follows the platform's May 2026 performance, where it reached 11.6 million viewers, an 11.1% increase from 10.3 million in May 2025. Usage volume grew by 42.8% in May.
