Fox International Channels (FIC) is all set to leverage over-the-top video market in Asia Pacific. FIC inks OTT deals with four players namely Avex in Japan, Tencent and its OTT partners in China, Astro in Malaysia and Cignal in the Philippines.

A slate of channels and content from FIC including Fox, Fox Sports and National Geographic will be available on SVOD, streaming and catch-up services from Avex, Tencent, Astro and Cignal.

“We are excited to be partnering with Avex, Tencent, Astro and Cignal. It is our mission to work with our platform partners to grow their subscriber base.
