“These partnerships reflect Curiosity’s multipronged approach to its business relationships,” said Bakori Davis, Curiosity’s Global Head of Partnerships and Distribution. “Our full product set - from localized channels to integrated app offerings and direct licensing opportunities - create a range of monetization paths for both us and our partners as we connect with audiences across the globe.”

Recent launch partners include Amazon’s Prime Video Channels in India; Telstra- and Astro Malaysia-backed Fetch TV in Australia; The Netherland’s largest MVPD, Ziggo, owned by Liberty Global and Vodafone; NLziet, the Dutch streamer operated by the three major Dutch broadcasting groups, NPO, RTL and Talpa; Mexico’s Izzi Telecom, owned by Grupo Televisa; and Central and Eastern European distributors MTS, Telekom Slovenia, and Megafon, among others.

“In addition to swiftly building a critical-mass content library with global appeal and global rights, our past investment in languaging and localizing our content is enabling us to expand quickly and aggressively both directly and with scale partners,” said Curiosity’s President & CEO, Clint Stinchcomb.

Curiosity is committed to providing the highest quality factual content across the globe.
