“
The new “Box of Wonders” is the result of many months of careful planning and in-depth research into the consumer mind-set. Customer-centricity is at the heart of our business, and our team has been working closely with customers to prioritize key functionalities of the technology. Our research found that content discovery, family viewing and enhanced control were top of our customer’s lists,” said Devrim Melek, Senior Vice President, Strategy, OSN.
“The new user interface and new software has completely overhauled our previous offering, using Machine Learning and AI to provide customers with the best the region has to offer in entertainment technology. The new system is easy to use, for both kids and adults, with viewers able to land on their favourite show in just three clicks of a remote. No other regional offering provides this currently, demonstrating OSN’s commitment to delivering the very best in entertainment to our viewers,” she added.
The revamped product offering, is available as part of the OSN Home subscription package and is the latest in a series of milestones for the entertainment hub following a new brand identity which launched earlier this year, the launch of the OSN streaming app and the strategic partnership with Disney+ Originals, all of which took place in April.
