Singapore – Multi Channels Asia (MCA) has announced that Outdoor Channel, a leader in outdoor entertainment, has made its Taiwan debut on Chunghwa Telecom’s (CHT) Multimedia On Demand (MOD) Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) platform. Outdoor Channel will be available as a HD channel, initially a Deluxe Package on MOD.

In Indonesia, Outdoor Channel has further consolidated and increased its distribution through several new carriage agreements with TOPAS TV; soon-to-launch DTH service provider NeoTV; and cable television platform, Max3, operated by Biznet Networks. Outdoor Channel has also expanded from Telkomvision’s Groovia IPTV platform to their Gold and Champion DTH satellite packages as a result of strong ratings and feedback from Telkomvision customers.

Gregg Creevey, Managing Director, MCA said: “Taiwan marks the 12th territory in which we have introduced Outdoor Channel. This is an important launch given that Taiwan has one of the highest pay TV penetration rates in the region and also one of the most competitive with many new channels knocking on the door to get in.  Our continued expansion in Indonesia is significant also as that market, while low in Pay-TV penetration, is the fastest-growing in Asia.”
