KyLinTV subscribers will have direct access to the most popular
broadcasts from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. In addition, KyLinTV
will broadcast U.S. Chinese channels including news and
entertainment produced exclusively for the Chinese-American
audience. This large expansion of new channels will include the key
provincial channels from China, Cantonese programming and specialty
channels.
“This is an exciting and historic day for KyLinTV, and for our
broadcast partners. KyLinTV is creating a global audience through
IPTV technology, making overseas content easily accessible to our
subscribers and elevating local U.S. based broadcasts to a national
audience,” said Nancy Li, CEO of KyLinTV. “This is only the
beginning. We are actively looking for additional Chinese content
partners to join KyLinTV and to expand our extensive range of
multimedia content offerings. ”
Engaging in a multi-platform approach to content delivery, KyLinTV
broadcast partners are able to create additional revenue streams and
to enhance their footprint in the Chinese-American consumer market.
Two of the most significant additions to the KyLinTV broadcast
lineup are Hunan TV, the most popular entertainment channel in
China, and Phoenix TV, offering premier programming for overseas
Chinese.
“Our strategic partnership with KyLinTV is bringing Hunan TV into
the future, expanding our distribution to reach a potentially global
audience. Hundreds of millions of Chinese enjoy Hunan TV programs
across Asia,” said Wei Wenbin, Director General of Hunan TV. “Now,
KyLinTV will bring the same exciting news, entertainment and
cultural programs to Chinese-speaking homes throughout North
America.”
Wu Xiaoyong, CEO of Phoenix TV added, “Phoenix TV recognizes the
significant role of IPTV in the future of global television. KyLinTV
has shown us what is truly possible through the implementation of
IPTV services, and our collaboration will benefit Phoenix TV in many
ways. IPTV is an important part of the Phoenix multi-platform
strategy. Through KyLinTV we will have access to more
Chinese-American viewers, and reach them in new and exciting ways.”
IPTV provides easy access to consumers without geographic
boundaries, and the VOD functionalities of KyLinTV offer additional
value-added services to KyLinTV content partners. Live broadcasts
are available to KyLinTV subscribers in real-time, and each channel
VOD companion will preserve KyLinTV broadcast titles for 24 hours,
maintaining access and convenience for the benefit of KyLinTV
