OUTtv, the world’s leading LGBTQ+ television and streaming service, is launching its first channels in Asia, partnering with Chunghwa Telecom to launch OUTtv in Taiwan, available as a linear offering for audiences. OUTtv launches on 18th March 2025 in Taiwan, with the linear channel available on Chungwha IPTV service, Multimedia On Demand (MOD), on channel 375.
Chunghwa Telecom is the largest telecom provider in Taiwan, with 2 million subscribers for its MOD IPTV service. The launch forms part of OUTtv’s strategic collaboration with Ulight Entertainment Technology, which is supporting the distribution of OUTtv as a channel across Asia.
OUTtv’s expansion into Asia continues a period of rapid international growth for OUTtv, following launches in New Zealand through a partnership with Prime Video as well as its newly rebranded SVOD service OUTflix expanding to the Nordics with Allente in 2024.
OUTtv viewers on Chunghwa will have access to the service’s LGBTQ+-targeted original programming including hit series For The Love of DILFs, Sew Fierce and Call Me Mother, as well as library content from OUTtv’s original series, documentaries, films and specials.
Brad Danks, CEO of OUTtv, said, “It’s been our goal for a long time to launch in Asia – it’s evident that there has been huge demand for a service that creates and provides authentic and diverse storytelling, both for and by the LGBTQ+ community. We’re proud to be bringing our channel to the region for the first time, launching in Taiwan with our partners Chunghwa and Ulight, and look forward to continuing to expand our reach, bringing our programming to LGBTQ+ audiences, their friends, families and allies across Asia.”
Lei Chi Chen, CEO and Founder of Ulight Entertainment Technology, said,“The launch of OUTtv on Chunghwa Telecom is a significant first step in bringing more diverse and inclusive content to audiences in Asia. Through our partnership, Ulight has been instrumental in facilitating this expansion, ensuring that OUTtv’s unique programming reaches new viewers in Taiwan. We look forward to building on this momentum and continuing to support global content providers in navigating the Asian market.”
OUTtv is working closely on their expansion into Asia with Ulight Entertainment Technology and Greg Ang and Harold Gronenthal of GangTV, Ang’s long-standing Singapore-based content and distribution company.
