SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Singapore Exchange listed YuuZoo Corporation Limited (“YuuZoo” SGX:AFC) today announced that the Company stands ready to launch YuuTV, a new premier high quality video streaming platform that offers consumers several exciting new features.
In addition to unique world class content in film, TV, sport and fashion, which YuuZoo will source from its partners including Relativity Media, one of the world’s largest independent movie studios, content creators will be able to create their own branded content channels to stream content, making it easy for them to build presence, submit content, garner a following and earn money.
YuuTV users will have full access to content instantly, anytime and anywhere. They can at their own convenience play, pause and resume watching their favourite content on their mobile phones. YuuTv’s video sharing feature supports the uploading of User Generated Content, allowing users to upload and watch content streamed directly to their mobile phones. Through the integration of the platform with YuuZoo’s existing interest based network, users can rate and review the video content, providing an avenue for increased user engagement.
YuuTV will generate revenue in several ways in a market estimated to be worth US$ 73,9 billion in 2024. YuuTV plans to offer consumers a premium subscription model, video and display advertising, Pay Per View, e- and m- commerce linked to the channels, and personalized real-time contextual advertising for which YuuZoo recently was awarded a patent.
YuuZoo last week announced the signing of an agreement to become the biggest shareholder of Relativity Media, one of the world’s largest independent movie studio and entertainment groups.
With the launch of YuuTV, YuuZoo has created a perfect channel to distribute Relativity’s unique world-class content to a global audience, with YuuZoo’s partner network covering 69 countries and a population of more than 4 billion people.
Relativity is a leading next generation “360 degree” global media company with a strong library including TV, sport, fashion, music and films that have generated more than $17 billion in worldwide box-office revenue and earned 60 Oscar nominations.
Says Thomas Zilliacus, Chairman of YuuZoo Corporation: “Online streaming is becoming crucial as consuming entertainment and news online via smartphones grows rapidly across the world. There is huge and fast growing demand to watch compelling live content and videos anytime, anywhere. The smartphone has become the main source of entertainment and news for billions of consumers worldwide, and the number of consumers using the smartphones as their main source for all content keeps growing exponentially,” he concluded.
