Viu, a video streaming provider with more than 36 million users per month, has already been working with media giant GMM Grammy for two years, bringing content of GMM25 channel to the Viu platform, as well as adding more content from GMM Music, GMM TV, and Change 2561 to it.
Grammy Music’s chief executive officer, Prawit Chitrakorn says from now on, the company will join up with more platforms and partners. “In addition to music, we produce other kinds of content to cater to various tastes including tourism and food programmes, as well as variety and game shows.
Channel 3 is cooperating with Netflix in bringing two series, “Thong Ake Mor Yah Tah Chaloang” and “Buppesannivas” to the streaming platform. The channel sees the new platform as way to earn more revenue and feels the series will satisfy audiences in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam (CLMV).
“Content is our core and that leads to new revenue channels” said Ariya Banomyong, the president of BEC World, or Channel 3. “Presently, 80 per cent of Channel 3’s main income is from advertising. However, that is likely to drop to 80 to 50 per cent in the future and the remainder will need to come rom new channels”.
