1.) Can you tell us a little about PPTV Thailand and how it got started?

PPTV Thailand started after PPTV HD entered the bid for the license to operate one of Thailand’s only 7 high definition digital channels in 2014. Now, we have began to offer the premium quality programming to all platforms.

Premium Content is our strategy. The sports content are some of our core rating magnets that includes the online live streaming of Bundesliga which attracts an audience base of approximately  2,000,000 per month.

I would say, content is the KING. Creative content can make new publishers well known in a second.
