Rachel VargheseHOST
Even right now, the slate that Balaji is releasing on YouTube includes the returning seasons of fan-favorite shows that used to air on Alt, like Kehne Ko Humsafar Hai Season 4 and Haq Se Season 2.
Rachel VargheseHOST
Both shows are returning after six to eight years, and their older seasons are available on JioHotstar to stream on a free subscription.
Rachel VargheseHOST
And there's a few reasons why YouTube is right now the preferred platform.
Rachel VargheseHOST
One is the consolidation, which helps with discoverability.
Rachel VargheseHOST
This gap is actually already showing with Indian audiences.
Rachel VargheseHOST
Even after more than a decade here, Netflix has just over sixteen million subscribers and about four thousand crore rupees in revenue.
Rachel VargheseHOST
JioHotstar is twice its size in revenue, and YouTube about four times.
Rachel VargheseHOST
Even the way content investment works has followed this trend.
Josh SchonafingerHOST
Um, looked like the pick of the Australian bowlers.
Josh SchonafingerHOST
We c- only saw bits and pieces in terms of highlights, um, because, uh, it is live streamed on JioHotstar, but I don't have an account with them.
Josh SchonafingerHOST
And I'm not sure if you do.
Kane RichardsonHOST
I just canceled mine recently-

Tom MerrittHOST
AWS, Amazon's cloud services division, is launching a new service that will let streamers deliver up to 10 feeds in a single personalized channel.
Tom MerrittHOST
Uh, so this is going to allow, uh, things like India's JioHotstar to give you cricket in multi-view.
Tom MerrittHOST
In fact, they're already doing it to present quad view features for the Indian Premier League cricket matches.
Tom MerrittHOST
Um, but it's, it's a way to make it less bandwidth intensive and less complex for the streamer to be able to say, "Oh, yeah, no, you want multiple streams at once? Here you go, not a problem."
Soumil AroraHOST
Should be fun.
Soumil AroraHOST
And Kunal and I will be back on the Indian Motors, Indian Racing Festival, Indian Formula 4 broadcast on Hotstar this Saturday and this Sunday as well.
Soumil AroraHOST
So tune in to that in the meantime.
Soumil AroraHOST
But for now, we've got to excuse us because we have to end the stream.
RogerHOST
But once they can kind of get rid of the Hulu app, That's going to make a big difference.
RogerHOST
They're just in the process of getting the Hotstar X variant that's running in a number of countries across Southeast Asia, Europe, and Africa.
RogerHOST
Get rid of that.
RogerHOST
That's all going to make a big difference.

Rajyasree SenHOST
But which I think is the diametric opposite of Alpha.
Rajyasree SenHOST
So Furious, which I had been hearing about for a while, is on Hotstar.
Rajyasree SenHOST
It is a crime drama, but it's about a female serial killer.
Rajyasree SenHOST
Now, female serial killers are 6 to 12% of all serial killers
Harshil MathurGUEST
Cricket matches are extremely popular in India.
Harshil MathurGUEST
And there's no Netflix or Hotstar at that part of time.
Harshil MathurGUEST
So I built a platform so that people can watch matches from their rooms, from their dorm rooms.
Harshil MathurGUEST
Hooking up a satellite TV to a computer and streaming it over the network.
Karan RaoHOST
We aren't just talking about traditional sports networks.
Karan RaoHOST
Word is that Netflix, YouTube, and JioHotstar, which just expanded internationally, they are all actively evaluating bids for the global digital rights.
Ayesha MehtaHOST
It's a massive scramble.
Karan RaoHOST
Meanwhile, the television rights are being fought over by Sony, Star, and Zee.
