Netizens can now watch Discovery Channel shows on Bilibili, one of the most popular video-streaming platforms among Chinese millennials.
On Monday, Bilibili reached an agreement with the U.S. network to both introduce existing content and co-produce new content, according to Qdaily. Previously, Bilibili users could find Discovery shows on the platform, but these were typically uploaded by individual users in violation of copyright. On Discovery’s Bilibili channel, Chinese netizens can now binge shows like “Man Vs. Wild” and “Pit Bulls & Parolees.”
This is not the first time Discovery has partnered with a Chinese streaming service. In August, the network authorized iQiyi to broadcast programming from “Shark Week” — a cult phenomenon in North America. (Image: VCG)
