The companys rapidly expanding reach demonstrates a growing appetite for millennial-programming globally.

This year, QYOU has launched the new TBD multicast network in the US with Sinclair Broadcast Group, which brings curated digital-first shows and series to TV audiences for the first time. The company has also signed the largest deployment of its QYOU channel to date with an expansion of its partnership with TATA Sky in India, bringing QYOUs programming to its mobile, TV, and on-demand services. The company continues its push into these larger markets with localized content partnerships adding value to the offering for consumers, distributors, and advertisers.
