KASKUS, an online community and discussion platform from Indonesia, introduces KASKUS TV to its loyal community users

One of the most familiar startups in Indonesia, being around since 1999, KASKUS is now venturing out with the newly launched KASKUS TV, a video platform for programmes and short videos showcasing lifestyle, hobby, and passion-focused content.

The video platform is integrated with the company’s main product, which is its discussion platform, KASKUS Forum. KASKUS TV content creators will include hobbyists, communities, and their content partners.

KASKUS has also provided their creators with an auditorium and a mini recording studio that will host gatherings and discussions, as well as facilitate video production. The company also plans to produce web series in video or podcast audio based on the writings shared on their discussion platform by Kaskuser, the namesake of KASKUS users.
