The telco has partnered with several companies such as Netflix, Peloton, Live Nation's Veeps and will feature prominent services WW International, Calm, Duolingo, A+E Networks (including Lifetime Movie Club, History Vault, and A&E Crime Central) TelevisaUnivision's Vix Plus, among others. Plus Play will also let users purchase and manage the content Verizon already offers through leading providers including Hulu, Disney+, ESPN+, Discovery, and AMC+.
