Singapore's StarHub has expanded its lineup of OTT streaming services available to subscribers of StarHub TV+, aligning with leading pan-regional platform Viu.

The pan-regional OTT video streaming service Viu has expanded its roster of originals across Asia, with some 30 shows slated for production.

Helen Sou, chief business officer for digital media and Viu Asia at parent company PCCW, shares with World Screen Newsflash the strategies driving the Viu platform’s subscriber and usage gains.

Viu, PCCW’s pan-regional OTT video streaming service, has further expanded its Asian content offering through its volume deals with Huace Film & TV and Huace Croton Media.

Viu has aligned with Thailand's Channel 3 and Amarin TV to deliver content across Asia, including Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore and the Philippines.

Netflix leads the premium video market in Southeast Asia, according to new analysis from Media Partners Asia (MPA), but YouTube and TikTok continue to take the lion's share of all video streaming minutes in the region.

Pan-Asian OTT service Viu has unveiled its second-quarter highlights, including a slate of Korean drama series, among them Doom at Your Service.

Viu will continue to expand its lineup of content acquisitions, format adaptations and original IP development as it works to drive its subscription base across the 16 markets in its footprint, CEO Janice Lee detailed at the APOS 2020 Virtual Summit.

OTT service Viu, which saw a 42 percent gain in streaming usage in Q2, has extended its partnerships with a range of Korean content providers.

Discovery’s Simon Robinson, Netflix’s Tony Zameczkowski, Viu’s Helen Sou and WarnerMedia’s Clément Schwebig weighed in on the streaming wars and the impact of COVID-19 on the media business in a panel at the AVIA OTT Virtual Summit this week.
