Viacom18 has nearly completed the merger of its two OTT platforms, JioCinema and Voot, according to a report in Hindu Businessline.
Sources close to the company told Businessline that the technology backend for both the OTT platforms has been completely integrated, and 90 percent of Voot Select subscribers have transitioned to JioCinema.
The remaining 10 per cent of subscribers have not transitioned to JioCinema yet, although executives believe they will transition soon enough, “likely in the next couple of months.”
Viacom18 launched Voot in 2014, and later its paid premium service Voot Select entered the streaming business. Later, Reliance moved JioCinema, which was launched under its telecommunications business, “Jio” to Viacom18 in 2022.
