Kaltura, the video experience cloud, announced that internet services and technology provider Watch Brazil launched its next-generation streaming TV service, Watch, powered by Kaltura and hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Demonstrating the appeal of the new service, in its first six months of operation, Watch’s user base has grown by over 25%.
Watch went live in Spring 2021 with 90 linear channels delivered by Kaltura on AWS transmitting the service’s wide array of engaging content. Watch offers premium international and national sports, general entertainment, TV series, comedy, drama, and news for subscribers to enjoy on the web, Android and iOS mobile devices and connected TVs.
Watch Brazil is among the first internet providers in the country to take advantage of a new licensing regime, established in 2020, which opened up the digital entertainment market to internet service providers.
