Anna Pak, VP and general manager for Southeast Asia at Discovery Networks Asia Pacific, added, \u201cWe are excited to partner with Viu and expand the reach of our brands to digital audiences. With its large and growing fanbase, Viu is an obvious partner as a leading OTT platform in APAC and our partnership will bring new business opportunities to Discovery.
