‘Operation Triumph’ (OT), The popular talent show musical, will return this year. And for the first time it will be broadcast on a streaming platform and not on a traditional channel, as until now. watch TV has advanced that Amazon Prime Video has acquired the rights to the program and that it plans to create a new edition for the end of 2023 and beginning of 2024, including live galas and a “24-hour Channel” similar to the previous editions.
The main difference is that the program will not be broadcast on television, or more specifically on TVE, like the last three editions of the contest. It can be seen from Prime Video or other platforms owned by Amazon.
Amazon, for its part, has not confirmed anything in this regard. From watch TVhowever, they state that ‘Operación Triunfo’ on Prime Video will have weekly live galas and a 24-hour channel where subscribers will be able to see everything that happens in the academy. It is, therefore, a format very similar to that of the last editions, where it was possible to see a live gala on TVE, where the contestants competed to stay on the program, through YouTube, live content of what was happening within The academy.
It is not clear, yes, if Amazon will use Twitch as a platform for live broadcasts of the academy of the new edition of OT. In any case, it is interesting to see how a format that until now we have only seen on traditional television is established on a streaming platform where, furthermore, live content is not the main attraction.
Netflix was about to buy the rights to ‘Operación Triunfo’
Curiously, Amazon Prime Video is not the only platform interested in ‘Operation Triumph’. Netflix was also interested to bet on this contest on your platform, as revealed Álvaro Díaz, director of Entertainment of the company, to the aforementioned medium. “Is it possible to see OT on Netflix? Why not? Of course. You should talk to Tinet [Rubira, director Gestmusic, productora de OT]of course yes. It would be necessary to adapt Netflix and WO to the tastes of our members”he stressed.
Movistar Plus+ was another of those interested in buying ‘Operación Triunfo’, but backed down when Prime Video also showed its intention to acquire the format, according to watch TV. The agreement with the Amazon streaming platform, yes, has not yet been closed. It will be signed in the next few days.
