Curiosity Brings Channel to Telkomsel Subscribers

Curiosity has partnered with Indonesia’s Telkomsel to launch Curiosity Channel on linear television and as an SVOD service.

Curiosity Channel will provide Telkomsel’s IndiHome subscribers with immediate access to award-winning films and series that explore science, technology, history, travel and more. This includes Connections with James Burke, David Attenborough’s Light on Earth, Planet Insect and Stephen Hawking’s Favorite Place, among others.

The channel will be available on Telkomsel IPTV IndiHomeTV, on the IndiHome TV app and the IndiHome TV website.

“Curiosity is committed to serving a global audience, and strategic distribution partnerships are critical to our effort,” said Jay Sodha, VP of business development and partnerships at Curiosity. “We have long said that nothing travels and translates as well as factual content, and we are thrilled to partner with Telkomsel to introduce the Curiosity brand and Curiosity Channel to new viewers.”

Nirwan Lesmana, VP of digital lifestyle at Telkomsel, added, “In alignment with the spirit of Indonesia, which inspires Telkomsel’s spirit and commitment to fostering innovations that contribute to the advancement of the nation, Telkomsel constantly tries to provide a wide range of products and services that offer added value to our loyal customers. The partnership with Curiosity will introduce a diverse selection of premium factual programming tailored to Telkomsel’s inquisitive audience and open a world of more for Indonesia.”
