BBC Worldwide launches BBC Knowledge HD on four platforms in Taiwan

August 21, 2014 by TVA Editor

Taipei – BBC Worldwide announced August 20 the official launch of BBC Knowledge HD across four cable platform operators in Taiwan – KBRO, TFM, Cable Giant and Ping Nan. The platforms will be the first in Taiwan to offer BBC Knowledge’s premium factual and natural history programmes in high definition.

“We have seen consistent positive growth in the demand for BBC Worldwide’s content across Taiwan. As part of our strategy to continually exceed our customers’ ever-increasing expectations for quality programming, I am very pleased that more viewers in Taiwan will now be able to enjoy an even clearer and more compelling  television experience,” said Pierre Cheung, Vice President & General Manager Greater China. “KBRO, TFM, Cable Giant and Ping Nan have been great partners of BBC Worldwide, with BBC Entertainment and BBC Lifestyle already available on their platforms; we are very excited to extend our working relationship with them.”

“As a leader in the HD space in Taiwan, we are proud to once again set new benchmarks for our factual channels. We are very happy to bring BBC Knowledge HD to our platforms in Taiwan,” said Steve Wang, President of KBRO.

Following the launch, viewers on KBRO, TFM, Cable Giant and Ping Nan will be privy to programmes such as Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan, which premieres in Asia on September 11, 9.55pm, and Operation Snow Tiger, which premieres on September 11, 10.50pm. A BBC AMERICA original series which was shot in true HD, Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan follows actor (Lord of the Rings, Lost, X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and wildlife enthusiast, Dominic Monaghan, as he confronts giant spitting cobras that can kill 20 men with one bite, massive six-ton charging elephants and vipers with two-inch fangs. Operation Snow Tiger is on a mission to track the Siberian tiger – one of Earth’s rarest and most elusive animals, with as few as 300 remaining. It is so rare that more scientists have been to space than have seen one in the wild. In this series, Liz Bonnin, a former tiger biologist, travels to the frozen forests of the Russian Far East to help a team of scientists studying these big cats.

BBC Knowledge HD will be available via the HD 99 Package across all four platforms in Taiwan.
