A+E Networks Asia has launched History Plus, a collection of short-form video content from History, on over-the-top (OTT) platform 4ME via a partnership with Brand New Media (BNM).
The content includes short-form videos from popular History franchises such as Pawn Stars, Ancient Aliens and The Pickers, along with behind-the-scenes segments from the channel's newest scripted series, Vikings and Gangland Undercover.
The platform also brings back content from some of Asia's favorites such as Hidden Cities Extreme and Special Forces.
"History Plus allows History fans to create playlists of original short-form content from their favorite series, providing a deeper dive into the popular franchises from our linear channel,” said Prem Kamath, deputy managing director of A+E Networks Asia.
4ME features original content for lifestyle channels covering food, health, fashion, tech, comedy, travel, home, entertainment, celebrity, sport, outdoor adventure and music. It is available at www.TV4ME.sg on any Internet-connected device.
"Audiences are converging to digital and social media in large numbers, particularly the early adopters and opinion leaders so coveted by advertisers,” said Damien Bray, global director at BNM. “Best of all, it will be a free service with no subscription fee, bringing compelling content to all Internet-connected viewers."
