Tata Sky, India’s leading integrated content distribution platform across DTH and OTT, has launched its newest offering – World screen, a carefully handpicked bouquet of international entertainment content.
As yet another pioneering initiative by Tata Sky, this would be the first time a DTH platform will provide an ad-free service where subscribers can view select series and movies from across the world, running 24 x 7, where most of the shows have never been available in India on television. The content will be available to subscribers on their TV sets through the STB, Tata Sky Mob App and the web app of Tata Sky. (watch.tatasky.com)
