Viacom18 to launch new subscription-based streaming service

Months after announcing its launch plan, Viacom18 has come out with a name for its subscription-based video streaming offering – Voot Select. Set to go live soon on Voot, the premium service Voot Select will give users access to diverse multi-genre content, with a key focus on English content and premium shows, along with Indian movie titles. Viacom18 is yet to announce the launch date and pricing of the new service. The new business vertical, under Viacom18 Digital Ventures, will be helmed by Ferzad Palia, head – Youth, Music, and English. He will handle Voot Select in addition to his existing responsibilities.
