Enthuses Jason Elk, Zoopy CEO, "We couldn't be prouder to be distributing this South African content to even more viewers around the world. Mzansi fo sho!"
He told Bizcommunity.com, "The beautiful thing about this partnership is that we made it all happen without ever meeting or speaking. Our entire relationship has been virtual.
"KSEE 24 emailed us"
"KSEE 24 mailed us after seeing what Zoopy TV has been producing and we put together the partnership in a couple of days. The inserts are tweaked for their use, uploaded via FTP and live on the air on their TV station within a matter of hours.
Concluded Elk, "It's incredible that an online TV platform in Cape Town and a broadcast TV station in California could hook up to make this happen so quickly, maintaining top grade quality and professionalism throughout - and taking Zoopy and the world cup to even more viewers across the globe."
