Jharkhand State News reports the rollout of Waves OTT and its companion My WAVES, a digital initiative shifting public broadcasting toward greater audience involvement.
The state government of Jharkhand has introduced a new over‑the‑top (OTT) service called Waves OTT, along with an interactive portal named My WAVES, according to a report on the official Jharkhand State News website.
Designed to move beyond conventional public broadcasting, the platforms allow citizens to upload, comment on, and curate regional content, fostering a participatory media environment.
Officials say the initiative aims to showcase local culture, news, and educational material while giving the public a direct role in content creation and distribution.
The launch aligns with broader digital‑media strategies pursued by Indian states to expand online reach and engage younger audiences.
The service is currently accessible via web and mobile applications, with plans to expand its library of regional programming in the coming months.
