Turner has reached a deal with Thailand’s AIS for Warner TV, World Heritage Channel, HLN, Boomerang and Toonami to be available on the telco’s linear and catch-up services.
AIS will carry the five Turner channels on its Playbox OTT service and Play mobile app from today. The channels are available to AIS’s almost 40 million mobile subscribers as linear and catch-up services. Boomerang and Toonami are bundled with the AIS subscription. Warner TV, World Heritage Channel and HLN are accessible with an additional fee or as part of a bundle package for selected accounts. HLN and World Heritage are launching in Thailand for the first time on AIS.
“AIS subscribers can now tap into an impressive slate of video entertainment from Turner’s diverse portfolio, across a wide range of programming genres,” said Phil Nelson, managing director of Turner in Southeast Asia. “Boomerang and Toonami are already Thailand’s top-two kids’ channels, so it’s fantastic to work with AIS to offer the brands to an even wider audience, on-the-go, via their mobile devices. Warner TV, with its unrivaled lineup of superhero series, comedies, Hollywood blockbusters and action shows, will complete the content offering along with news service HLN and documentary channel World Heritage Channel.”
Suvit Arayavilaipong, senior VP of product management at AIS, noted, “AIS turns mobile devices into much more than just a tool for making and receiving voice calls. With a variety of quality entertainment and productivity applications and digital content, and through the AIS PLAYBOX and the AIS PLAY app, we bring you a whole new world-class entertainment experience of movies, TV series and shows.”
