JioCinema platform could soon be shut down when Reliance Jio announced free IPL streaming on its JioCinema it shook the entire market. Now, Mukesh Ambani might make a major decision regarding the platform.
In February this year, Reliance and Walt Disney’s media assets in India, Viacom 18 and Star India, respectively, merged in a major deal worth $8.5 billion in the Indian OTT space. After this merger, it was announced that Disney’s Indian OTT platform, Disney+ Hotstar, would be merged into Reliance’s Jio Cinema.
However, according to the latest reports, the Ambani family’s Reliance decided to keep Hotstar as its primary streaming platform by merging Jio Cinema into it. This merger would create a consolidated single OTT platform for the combined entity. As per the report, this combined OTT platform will be called as “Jio Hotstar”.
I am curious how would they deal with subscribers money esp those with yearly plans, post merger?:))
