    MUMBAI: Zee5, the OTT platform from the Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd stable, is going to live stream Arnab Goswami’s English-language news channel Republic TV on the mobile app and website.
    Zee5 business head Manish Aggarwal said, “ZEE5, through its premium quality content – both syndicated and original – strives to create an immersive experience for viewers. With the addition of Republic TV, the platform is looking to connect with viewers who are digitally savvy but do not want to lose on the live news experience. Our association with Republic TV aligns well with our commitment to making ZEE5 as the one-stop destination for digital content consumption.”

    Republic TV product head Rumit Anand also expressed his eagerness on the partnership saying, “As a country that is still home to households that do not have television access, outreach through handhelds is a logical step. ZEE5 offers robust technological support to make viewing a seamless experience. We are excited about this partnership and are keen to see the response from the subscribers.”
    Republic TV will join the already existing news channel library on the platform with Doordarshan News, 24 Ghanta, Raj News, BBC World News, CNNi SA and Chardikla Time TV.
