Indonesia’s first English language entertainment and lifestyle channel is set to make its debut across the globe with Globecast. The Indonesia Channel has signed a deal with Globecast to launch its 24-hour channel on multiple platforms.
From the premises of Globecast Asia’s state-of-the-art digital media facility at Mediapolis in Singapore, Globecast is providing its playout and media management services for The Indonesia Channel, localising its content and ensuring that proper formats are available to suit to each region’s needs. In addition, Globecast also provides its Over-The-Top Managed solution, making sure that the content is suitable for mobile viewing on various mobile devices.
Viewers have easy access to watch the channel because it is available on different platforms. Firstly, the channel can be viewed from homes across Asia Pacific via the MEASAT-3 satellite. Secondly, the channel is also available across Europe via Globecast’s fibre delivery, and lastly, its presence online via the Over-The-Top model can be reached all over the world, in most countries where high speed broadband prevails. Viewers on the go can access the channel from their mobile phones, tablets and notebooks, anywhere, and at anytime they want.
“Globecast is privileged to be participating in this milestone for The Indonesia Channel. We hope to bring all the features of our digital media facility to bear in providing the quality of service and operational standards that are on par with the expectations of international broadcasters,” said Darby Sanchez, Chief Executive Officer of Globecast Asia.
The Indonesia Channel is privately-funded, the first-of-its-kind English channel that has a programming mix of news and general entertainment including music, movies, health, lifestyle and fashion.
Dalton Tanonaka, Chief Executive Officer of The Indonesia Channel said, “We seek to inform and entertain viewers around the world with cool and informative shows. We chose Globecast to deliver our content because of its international reputation for quality service.” (Source: Press release)
