ABS-CBN has inked deals with Star Times TV, the largest digital TV operator in the Sub-Saharan region, and PT Vidio Dot Com, Indonesia’s over-the-top video streaming platform, to bring more of its programs to the global market.
The company led by Carlo L. Katigbak continues adding stories well received by international critics, and the English-dubbed version of the hit mystery-drama series Viral Scandal is currently being aired in 41 Sub-Saharan countries, including Nigeria, Ghana, Seychelles, and Ivory Coast. ABS-CBN entered a content localization partnership with Indonesia’s PT Vidio Dot Com to air more Filipino series like Love Thy Woman, Mea Culpa, A Mother’s Guilt, Wansapanatym and Maalaala Mo Kaya, its longest-running drama anthology.
