Korea – Arirang TV is increasing the number of news programs and developing new shows, reports The Korea Times. According to Lee Sung-wan, vice president of Arirang TV, Arirang TV has decided to specialize their channel (depending on region). “The channel aired in Korea through cable, satellite and IPTV will carry various programs that highlight multicultural families; while the channel that is aired overseas will feature programs that focus on introducing and featuring Korea.” The network will add three more news programs every day, plus offer interesting and inspiring shows to attract viewers from around the world. Some of the new shows are G-Korea, Tasty Trail and Korea Confidential. Aside from new programs, Arirang TV has also arranged a program exchange project with other countries, including Vietnam, China, the Philippines, Russia, Hungary, India and Brazil. SWAP World will air local shows from each of these countries with English and Korean subtitles Monday through Friday at 8:30 pm. Arirang TV will also air a Vietnamese drama, Chay An every Saturday and Sunday at 10 am. The new shows started airing 4 January 2010.
