GlobeCast establishes Singapore content acquisition and distribution division

Division will manage content providers in releasing content rights and licensing to major networks and hotels.

GlobeCast, a France Telecom company and a global content management and delivery partner for broadcasters, has created a new division in Asia to oversee the content acquisition and distribution (CAD) business.

GlobeCast's CAD team is actively securing carriage deals for TV channels and content providers with DTH, Cable and IPTV platforms worldwide.

GlobeCast's expertise in ethnic content plus its proximity to operators and content providers has eventuated a number of linear and VOD content deals, with GlobeCast successfully launching top Asian channels on key European and U.S. networks serving the Cambodian, Indian, Pakistani, Chinese, Vietnamese and other ethnic viewers.

Within Asia, one of the company's key CAD projects executed was for Russia Today, with the channel outsourcing a bulk of its Asian distribution activity to GlobeCast. In less than a year, GlobeCast secured regulatory clearances and launched the broadcaster to 16 key digital platforms in India, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Indonesia and Philippines to more than 25 million homes in the region.

The channel can be viewed by subscribers of Singtel, Starhub, Hong Kong Cable, SK Broadband, Destiny Cable, Indovision, and India's DISH DTH, WWIL CABLE, DISH HITS INCABLE, 7 STAR CABLE, BIG TV DTH, AIRTEL DTH, DD DIRECT, HATHWAY CABLE and SUN DIRECT DTH. The project also involved securing carriage for RT in more than 30,000 rooms in 200+ four & 5 star hotels in India. GlobeCast is also responsible for signal monitoring as well as the Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) and marketing activities for Russia Today.

In addition to this new activity, GlobeCast operates a worldwide satellite and fibre network, as well as provides media management services such as program origination, playout and web streaming.

In Asia, GlobeCast operates from Singapore, New Delhi, Beijing, Seoul and Hong Kong.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.
