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.
On September 10, 2026, German broadcaster Sat.1 and streamer Joyn ordered "Club der Reality Detektive," a local adaptation of Banijay Entertainment’s reality format "The Detective Club," which marks the format's first international adaptation and will be produced by Banijay Productions Germany. Previously, on September 8, the ProSiebenSat.1 streaming service reported 10.5 million users in August, representing a 20.2 percent growth and marking Joyn’s best August since its inception. Earlier, on August 11, Joyn announced a record 10.6 million viewers in July, a 17.2 percent increase that positioned it a million users ahead of RTL in Germany, though this figure was still down 18% from April views. This growth followed ProSiebenSat.1's August 6 report, which indicated that Joyn’s performance helped improve the company’s profitability in the first half of 2026, offsetting weakness in the German television advertising market.
