Toggle is a Singaporean digital video on demand service brand owned by Mediacorp. It was launched in 2013 as an OTT service, and as an entertainment and lifestyle website.
On 1 April 2015, xinmsn was closed down and merged with Toggle.[2][3][4]
Content
Toggle offers to worldwide audiences video streaming or on-demand content of programs from Mediacorp's archived library as well as original webseries. In addition, Toggle also offers live streaming of Mediacorp's free-to-air channels (exclusive to Singapore only). It also offers Catch up tv for viewers to watch shows they have missed on prime time tv from the previous few days.
In 2016, Toggle began to offer made-for-digital productions under the brand Toggle Originals.[5][6] Certain original series, such as I Want to Be a Star may be telecasted on Mediacorp's television channels, typically in the late night programming slots.
In 2019, Toggle began offering additional content from HBO Go for Singapore residents only.[7] In the same year, Mediacorp and Wattpad inked partnership for developing scripted series and films for Toggle and Mediacorp FTA channels, based on books made by Wattpad writers that are based in Singapore.[8]
On 30 January 2020, Toggle will be renamed to meWATCH, as announced by Mediacorp.[9]
