The service’s partnerships with established Pay TV operators around the world, combined with their ability to help speed our creation, launch and data collection around custom channels and programming, makes this partnership another valuable addition to our growing global distribution,” stated Curt Marvis, CEO and Co-founder of QYOU Media.
