Speaking on the partnership, Siddhartha Roy, CEO of Hungama Digital Media said, “The collaboration between Bollywood Hungama and YuppTV is poised to introduce a compelling and vibrant facet of entertainment to the South Asian audience. In the ever-evolving and dynamic media landscape of today, where smart TVs play an indispensable role in the viewing experience, we acknowledge the need for innovation within the FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming Television) category.”

We are excited to provide our current user-base with original content from Bollywood Hungama, helping them keep up with the latest news from Bollywood, Hollywood, OTT and television.”
YuppTV was founded in 2006, and the platform currently has over 250 live channels, available on-demand globally.

Pluto TV and Sling TV are well-established FAST platforms, both launched in 2014 and 2015 respectively.
As per a report released in 2021, 28 per cent of TV content viewers in the U.S. said they were using a FAST platform with ad-supported linear channels, as well as their on-demand services.
