jungotvThe service will target in-language communities of Arabic, Chinese, Filipino, Greek, Iranian, Italian, Spanish, Turkish and Vietnamese speakers and will be available on mobile platforms including iOS and Android, Web and most connected devices.

"In launching The Dr Oz Show around the globe, it was apparent to me that the market for international content was growing rapidly,” said Dr Mehmet Oz, television personality, surgeon, media entrepreneur and co-founder of JungoTV. “The launch of JungoTV, the first premium service of its kind to serve a global multilingual community, will allow us to provide top quality programming from customers' home countries and reconnect them with their culture and lifestyle.”

"Piksel's expertise has been instrumental in helping us build a secure plan for success, and with its heritage in the OTT market building video technology platforms, we will go to market with a best-of-breed multi-channel solution quickly," Oz said.
