JioHotstar Launches in UK, Canada, Singapore Without Sports

JioHotstar has launched in the UK, Canada and Singapore, marking its first expansion beyond India. The service carries entertainment content including movies, TV shows and all six Bigg Boss editions. UK viewers get 24x7 live Bigg Boss streams for the first time, with the same feed also available in Canada. Multiple outlets report the platform replaces the prior Hotstar brand in those countries and adds interactive features plus new subscription tiers. Sports content is absent from the lineup. Bloomberg notes the move targets millions of South Asian diaspora viewers in the three markets.
