Hum TV's Digital Expansion on YouTube
Hum Network, a Pakistani media company, is increasingly relying on its YouTube presence for revenue. Historically a traditional broadcaster, Hum TV has seen its digital income, primarily from its official YouTube channel, grow to become a significant part of its business. The channel boasts over 51 million subscribers and 46 billion views, contributing to a substantial rise in digital revenue. While the recent acquisition of Ten Sports has shifted the overall revenue mix, the growth of YouTube as a revenue stream for Hum Network has been a major trend, highlighting the company's successful adaptation to the digital landscape.[10]
