Reliance's current streaming service, JioCinema, will be amalgamated into Disney+ Hotstar, resulting in a unified streaming platform for the combined firm.
The move is part of the $8.5 billion merger of Reliance and Walt Disney's media businesses in India, announced in February 2024. The resulting media colossus will control more than 100 TV stations and two major streaming platforms.
Why Reliance 'went with' Disney+ Hotstar over its own JioCinema According to insiders.
Reliance's leadership decided to keep Disney+ Hotstar due of its superior technology infrastructure.
According to Reuters, the business was also considering various ways such as incorporating Disney+ Hotstar into JioCinema or running separate platforms for sports and entertainment content.
Reuters claims that all live sporting events from the amalgamated entity will be streamed exclusively on the Disney+ Hotstar app, including major events like the IPL, which is now available on JioCinema.
