This partnership also extends to audiences in USA, Canada, and other cricket-loving territories, ensuring global accessibility.
The FAST Advantage
According to industry reports, the global FAST market is projected to cross $17 billion by 2029, driven by shifting audience behaviour toward free, ad-supported content. In India alone, where over 700 million internet users are active, a significant portion of the audience prefers regional and free content.
For rights holders like Willow TV, partnering with a FAST platform like SWIFT TV is more than a distribution deal; it’s a strategic expansion into untapped demographics, offering advertisers new opportunities for targeted, engaged viewership.
