Dutch publisher and media group Telegraaf Media Groep and ITV-owned producer and distributor Talpa have confirmed plans to launch two video streaming platforms this year. The Dutch publisher’s OTT director Mandy van der Wal said the group is working on concepts for sports and news channels.
Advertisers have been asked to test out the format for three months, ahead of a planned launch later this year.
