Filipinos love to watch movies and TV shows not just on actual TVs but also on mobile. We usually subscribe to different entertainment platforms in order to watch our favorite show, series or movies. Having said that, I love to be the bearer of a good news. Now you can watch TV shows and movies for free as HOOQ, one of the leading video-on-demand service, just launched HOOQ FREE.
HOOQ FREE provides Filipinos access to a wide array of popular on-demand local films, programs, live channels and short-form content – without the need to register. The revamped platform, which can be accessed via the web, mobile app, and on select TV models and set-top boxes, has been designed to give viewers immediate access to some of the nation’s most popular films and series, so they can browse and access authentic, unique and locally relevant stories that they want to watch.
Aside from bringing exciting local stories at the forefront, HOOQ FREE also bolsters the HOOQ live TV experience, adding two new channels; CNN Philippines and PTV. With the addition of these new channels, HOOQ increases the total number of live and feature TV channels to 20.
“We are giving Filipinos the freedom to view over 1,000 titles for free! There will be no sign-ups, no registration for a trial or paid subscription needed. Based on our data and insights, and our deep connection to the local audience, we know that video entertainment delight is all about instant enjoyment, consumption that’s mobile, and the power of bite-size and binge-worthy content with local relevance.”- Jennifer Batty, Chief Content Officer, HOOQ
Here’s another news… HOOQ also introduced their innovative quarterly streaming event, HOOQ FREEPLAY Festival, where HOOQ will shift over 1,000 local titles from HOOQ VIP, HOOQ’s SVOD (subscription video-on-demand) layer onto HOOQ FREE for the duration of one-month, from June 21 to July 20, 2019.
“HOOQ is attuned to the evolving needs of the social, convenience-driven and digital-savvy Filipino. We understand local nuances and most importantly, we get our audience – so we’re introducing HOOQ FREE and the HOOQ FREEPLAY Festival in response to their wants and needs as VOD consumers.”-Sheila Paul, HOOQ Philippines Country Manager
There will also be an all-new HOOQ Original titled, Sex Talks with Dr. Holmes. The 10-episode series is a helpline for those who have questions and concerns about sex and how it figures in their daily lives. There will be a dramatization of the letter senders’ situations but the approach is light with a bit of humor.
