Watcher Entertainment Will Pull All YouTube Videos, Moving Content to Its Own Subscription Streaming Service


Watcher Entertainment is removing its videos from YouTube and moving all original series to a new subscription-based streaming service.

Members who sign up during the beta period from April 19 through May 31 will receive 30% off the first year and will also unlock the opportunity to revive “a previously discontinued cult-favorite series by members-driven vote.” More info is at watchertv.com. Lim, who serves as CEO, said the trio have spent more than a decade creating and distributing their content through YouTube, which “has been a wonderful home for us to sharpen our skills as filmmakers, grow as human beings, and connect directly with our fans.” “But with the evolution of our content along with the maturation of our fans’ taste, this feels like the best move — putting the future of our company squarely into a platform that allows us to further our relationship with the people who watch and support us.”
