    Meet the man behind Showmax. As chief operating officer of MultiChoice Connected Video, Barry Dubovsky is leading the charge to bring the 2022 Fifa World Cup to Showmax Pro in 4K.

    Dubovsky joins Duncan McLeod in the TC|Daily studio to chat about what has been involved in getting Showmax ready for the World Cup, and what the plans are for bringing other content to the platform in 4K once the global football event has concluded.

    An Australian national who has previously worked for telecommunications operator Telstra chats about how he ended up working in a senior role for an Africa-focused video entertainment company. He also unpacks what’s involved in running a streaming video service like Showmax.

    Also in this episode of TC|Daily, Dubovsky discusses:

    • The tighter integration of Showmax into MultiChoice
    • What drove the recent price cuts for Showmax Pro
    • Fragmentation of the video entertainment industry and what comes next
    • The long-term future of streaming vs satellite and cable

    Don’t miss the discussion, and also check out the recent TC|Daily interview with MultiChoice South Africa CEO Nyiko Shiburi.
