Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam – Discovery Networks Asia-Pacific announced a partnership with digital entertainment platform POPS Worldwide, which will see the two parties collaborating on the development of original content for Her Voice, the destination channel for digitally-connected women in Vietnam that aims to inspire, inform and entertain. Discovery is the first international broadcaster to partner with POPS Worldwide to create original content for the Vietnam market.
