Zee Media Corporation’s English news channel World Is One News (WION) has launched on Etisalat in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. Viewers in these countries can also watch WION on Du & Ooredoo. WION’s Middle East debut comes on the heels of its launch in seven African countries: Nigeria, Kenya, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Botswana and Rwanda. Come February to April, WION will be spreading its outreach to other South Asian countries like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Myanmar. The channel is also available in Australia on over the top (OTT) platform YuppTV. Talks are underway to launch it on other platforms in Australia and New Zealand.
The channel provides 'a global view of the world with a South Asian lens', the company explained, when WION first launched in India.
