Disney+ Teams Up With Vidio For Indonesian Bundle

Disney+ has partnered with Indonesian streamer Vidio to launch a joint subscription bundle, combining global franchises with local originals and live sports. The bundle, called the 'Vidio Ultimate Disney+ All Screen Bundle', brings together Disney+'s film slate, franchises, and APAC originals with Vidio's exclusive series, live TV streaming, and sports lineup.

The sports lineup includes Premier League, UEFA Champions League, and Indonesia's BRI Super League. Subscribers to the bundle will also get ESPN programming on Disney+, including live coverage, documentaries, and studio shows.

All Vidio users with an active subscription will have access to a 'Taste of Disney+' collection on Vidio's platform, featuring select episodes of Disney+ titles, including 'Flex X Cop' Season 2, 'High Potential', 'Sofia the First', and 'Grey's Anatomy'. The 'Taste of Disney+' collection is meant to steer viewers toward the full bundle.

Disney+ and Vidio are working on bringing a selection of Vidio programming to Disney+ subscribers, including Vidio Original Series and sinetron. According to Tony Zameczkowski, Disney's senior VP and general manager of direct-to-consumer, Asia-Pacific, the partnership is part of Disney+'s focus on accelerating collaborations to expand its reach in APAC.

## Why it matters The partnership between Disney+ and Vidio is significant as it marks Disney+'s strategy to expand its reach in Asia through local collaborations. By combining global franchises with local originals and live sports, the joint subscription bundle offers a unique streaming experience for fans and new audiences in Indonesia. The partnership also highlights the growing importance of Asia-Pacific in the global streaming market.

## What happens next The companies are still working on the details of the reciprocal arrangement that would give Disney+ subscribers access to a curated selection of Vidio originals and Indonesian television soaps. The pricing for the new bundle and overall financial terms have not been disclosed. As the streaming market in Asia-Pacific continues to grow, it will be interesting to see how this partnership evolves and what other collaborations Disney+ and Vidio have in store.
