Tencent Video Expansion Internationally is a Success (WeTV)
Launched in 2019, WeTV is now available internationally specifically in South-East Asia including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines and many more countries.
The WeTV streaming service serves original Chinese content from Tencent Video, as well as other content from various countries in Asia, such as Indonesia, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and Japan.In addition, in every country where WeTV operates, local original content is also produced. Especially in Indonesia, WeTV Indonesia produces original series every year.
In the Internationalization process, NetRange has been chosen by Tencent Video, a Chinese streaming platform, to fuel the global expansion of WeTV. Through its Smart TV App Store, it is able to reach new users of Smart TVs and linked devices thanks to NetRange, a provider of white-labeled turnkey OTT ecosystems. Complex content agreements with many device models and manufacturers are no longer necessary thanks to the c integration procedure. WeTV will be able to use NetRange's single integration process according to this arrangement, which eliminates the need for extensive content agreements with different device makers and manufacturers. WeTV users may experience WeTV on as many devices as possible thanks to NetRange, which distributes content to millions of Smart TVs, set-top boxes, and other connected devices.
WeTV has made incredible progress in Southeast Asia so far, and they intend to break even more ground with the approximately 40 locally produced WeTV Originals projects they have in the works. For instance a Chinese Romantic Comedy drama played by 万鹏 Wang Peng and 徐志贤 XuZhiXian, "My Girlfriend is an Alien '' Season 1 was a huge success in Indonesia and Thailand, and Season 2 of this show was eagerly anticipated by audiences and is launched in the mid of 2022. There are also many Tencent Video Originals is another project that will debut in late 2022 or early 2023 and is widely awaited by die-hard fans. The long-term goal of WeTV to create top-notch original content particularly for Southeast Asian viewers has been paying off. The 26th Asian Entertainment Awards, the biggest television trophy show in Asia, nominated WeTV Originals in Thailand for six awards. This has shown to be a potent proving ground for homegrown artists specifically South-East Asian to gain international notoriety and secure brand sponsorships. In keeping with this, WeTV Originals that were made locally in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines have continued to be broadcast.
WeTV reached an important milestone in 2021 when there were more than 60 million downloads worldwide, up 31% from the previous year. Additionally, WeTV's monthly active user base has been exponentially expanding each year. The monthly active users of WETV have increased by 67% in 2022 and WeTV VIP users increased by an astonishing 95% between 2020 and 2021. These show off WeTV's accomplishment in providing its viewers with top-notch entertainment across a wide range of genres and backgrounds.
