MyTV SUPER, the over-the-top (OTT) service from Hong Kong free-to-air broadcaster TVB, now carries Chinese film channel Celestial Classic Movies (CCM), action entertainment channel KIX and Thrill.
KIX and Thrill — Asia’s only regional horror, thriller and suspense movie channel — will be offered as linear-streaming channels and on-demand services, while CCM will be available as a linear streaming channel.
CATCHPLAY, a film distributor and co-producer headquartered in Taiwan, now carries a Celestial Movies subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) service on its OTT platform. Singapore’s StarHub also provides the same content through its CATCHPLAY Unlimited HD add-on channel.
Taiwan’s free-to-air broadcaster and content aggregator FTV will now carry CCM on its OTT service, Four Seasons. Through FTV, Taiwan mobile operator Asia Pacific Telecom, also carries CCM on its OTT service, Gt TV.
Taiwan OTT service provider LiTV now carries CCM, alongside almost 100 local and international TV channels.
“We are moving rapidly to address the growing demand for over-the-top services of our channels. All six of our main channel brands are available as OTT services and these carriage deals are just the beginning of our OTT expansion. We look forward to working with our affiliate partners as well as new platforms to build their OTT offering,” said Todd Miller, CEO, Celestial Tiger Entertainment.
“From Chinese and Asian movies to action and horror content, our channel brands extend beyond the linear-viewing experience to offer consumers and subscribers specifically-curated content they can’t see anywhere else.”
CTE also recently signed a number of linear carriage agreements, which has seen Thrill launch on Indonesian terrestrial pay-TV platform Nexmedia, and CTE channels being distributed to local cable operators in Thailand through a deal with channel distributor TTT Networks.
