Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. (ZEEL) is all set to migrate its existing video streaming platforms OZEE (Free- Ad supported) and DittoTv (Subscription based) to an all new platform called ZEE5 which will follow a Freemium revenue model where some content will be free and Ad supported while Premium content including Live Tv and Ad free English shows will be available on subscription only.
