The two companies previously partnered on the drama <em>Nur 2<\/em> and now plan to jointly commission new content and drama co-productions.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Britt, iflix co-founder and group CEO, said, \u201cThis alliance is a significant milestone and another considerable boost to iflix\u2019s local content offering. Over the past three months, we have accelerated the pivot away from Western towards local and regional programming, to deliver the most relevant and compelling content to users in our territories for free. A strategic partnership of this scale with a progressive partner like Media Prima builds upon the strengths of both our organizations to provide viewers across Asia with the best possible entertainment experience. We look forward to building on this partnership.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Johan Ishak, CEO of Media Prima Television Networks, added, \u201cSince 2018, Media Prima Television Networks has embarked aggressively in the \u2018democratization\u2019 of our popular content, going beyond our traditional ecosystem to cater for the increasing demand for digital content among consumers. The inclusion of tonton, Malaysia\u2019s most-watched video streaming platform, in iflix is a testament to the group\u2019s intent while providing their users with the best local content available. We look forward not only to sharing our content with iflix but also to developing and curating award-winning content for the platform.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Content from Malaysian media conglomerate Media Prima will be made available on iflix for free one hour after the linear telecast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":290,"featured_media":5417,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[297,219],"class_list":["post-5416","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-iflix","tag-media-prima"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>iflix Aligns with Media Prima for Local Content - TVASIA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/iflix-partners-with-media-prima-for-local-content\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"iflix Aligns with Media Prima for Local Content - TVASIA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Content from Malaysian media conglomerate Media Prima will be made available on iflix for free one hour after the linear telecast.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/iflix-partners-with-media-prima-for-local-content\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVASIA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-04-25T06:24:52+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-04-25T15:22:22+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/07\/iflix-x-Media-Prima-419.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"319\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/iflix-partners-with-media-prima-for-local-content\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/iflix-partners-with-media-prima-for-local-content\/\",\"name\":\"iflix Aligns with Media Prima for Local Content - TVASIA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-04-25T06:24:52+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-04-25T15:22:22+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/iflix-partners-with-media-prima-for-local-content\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/iflix-partners-with-media-prima-for-local-content\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/iflix-partners-with-media-prima-for-local-content\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"iflix Aligns with Media Prima for Local Content\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/\",\"name\":\"TVASIA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\",\"name\":\"Mansha Daswani\",\"description\":\"Mansha Daswani is the editor-in-chief and associate publisher of World Screen.
