Hong Kong – French-language network TV5MONDE has renewed its carriage agreement with Mongolian power player Sansar Cable LLC. The channel will also be available in Cambodia in all of pay-TV newcomer OneTV’s packages.
Back in 1995, Sansar Cable LLC was the first company to provide multi-channel cable television services in Mongolia. Today, Sansar carries more than 90 digital cable TV channels and offers a basic package and a premium package to more than 62,000 subscribers in the greater Ulaanbaatar area.
TV5MONDE is widely available on Mongolian pay-TV platforms, including major offerings such as Khiimore Cable, Unitel, SkyC&C and SBN, for an estimated total of 200,000 subscribing homes and a 69% penetration of the Mongolian pay-TV market.
Alexandre Muller, Managing Director APAC, said: “Sansar Cable was one of the first platforms in Asia to carry our channel, soon after its launch in 1996. We are very pleased and grateful for Sansar Cable’s continued support of our channel.”
Via Cambodia’s OneTV, TV5MONDE will be available to an estimated 70% of Cambodia’s population, or 8.3 million individuals. The channel has been available on analogue terrestrial in the greater Phnom Penh area since 1996, serving an estimated 2 million individuals, and is widely available on cable platforms throughout the country.
