The platform delivers some 100,000 hours of TV episodes, movies, original series, news and 60-plus live streaming channels.<\/p>\n<p>Archana Anand, chief business officer at ZEE5 Global, noted, \u201c&#038;TV, Zing and Living Foodz are hugely popular amongst South Asians in the U.K. With carefully curated, compelling content, these channels have had a strong appeal among the diaspora audience that remains deeply connected to India via its love for Indian food, music and movies. As a global OTT platform with the largest width and depth of Indian content across languages. ZEE5 caters to this same audience and beyond, and we are thrilled to have these as exclusive channels in our content bouquet for our U.K. viewers.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Aditya Thakur, CEO of ZEE5 EU\/U.K., added, \u201cAs niche channels, &#038;TV, Zing and Living Foodz have always had a discerning audience that is increasingly watching content online. Recognizing this, we wanted to give this audience the freedom to access their favorite shows on any device, whenever and wherever they want so it made perfect sense to have them available exclusively on ZEE5. With the growing number of people online today, this move will only help us reach newer audiences for these channels. We\u2019re also in parallel strengthening our flagship linear channels Zee TV and Zee Cinema through an expanded content lineup, which will help us further build out our linear audiences.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three of ZEE&#8217;s channels in the U.K., &#038;TV, Zing and Living Foodz, will soon only be available through the company&#8217;s OTT platform, ZEE5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":290,"featured_media":9304,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1998,1999,2000],"class_list":["post-9303","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-zee","tag-zee5","tag-zee5-global"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>ZEE Makes Three U.K. Channels Exclusive to OTT Platform - TVEUROPE<\/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\/tveurope\/2019\/05\/13\/zee-makes-three-u-k-channels-exclusive-to-ott-platform\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"ZEE Makes Three U.K. Channels Exclusive to OTT Platform - TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Three of ZEE&#039;s channels in the U.K., &amp;TV, Zing and Living Foodz, will soon only be available through the company&#039;s OTT platform, ZEE5.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/05\/13\/zee-makes-three-u-k-channels-exclusive-to-ott-platform\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-05-13T15:32:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/07\/zee5-519.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\/tveurope\/2019\/05\/13\/zee-makes-three-u-k-channels-exclusive-to-ott-platform\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/05\/13\/zee-makes-three-u-k-channels-exclusive-to-ott-platform\/\",\"name\":\"ZEE Makes Three U.K. Channels Exclusive to OTT Platform - TVEUROPE\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-05-13T15:32:39+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-05-13T15:32:39+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/05\/13\/zee-makes-three-u-k-channels-exclusive-to-ott-platform\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/05\/13\/zee-makes-three-u-k-channels-exclusive-to-ott-platform\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/05\/13\/zee-makes-three-u-k-channels-exclusive-to-ott-platform\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"ZEE Makes Three U.K. Channels Exclusive to OTT Platform\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\",\"name\":\"TVEUROPE\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\",\"name\":\"Mansha Daswani\",\"description\":\"Mansha Daswani is the editor-in-chief and associate publisher of World Screen.
