SINGAPORE: Sony Pictures Television Networks, Asia’s Korean entertainment network ONE is set to launch on SingTel’s mio TV platform on November 1.

This is the channel’s first carriage deal with an IPTV platform. Available for subscription in the Jingxuan pack, ONE delivers Korean content from SBS.
 
“There is great demand for fresh Korean content of high quality and ONE offers just that to viewers in the region," said Ricky Ow, senior VP and general manager for networks, Asia, at Sony Pictures Television. "We are confident ONE will be a must-have channel for fans on mio TV and are pleased to find a great partner such as SingTel, to bring ONE to a wider audience base in Singapore."

“Korean pop culture and entertainment draws immense interest across the region and Singapore is no different," said Goh Seow Eng, the digital home chief at SingTel. "Feedback from our customers indicates that Korean dramas and variety shows have strong appeal across a wide audience. With ONE offering the hippest Korean content in high definition, we are confident that the channel will be an irresistible entertainment destination, especially for ‘Hallyu’ fans in Singapore. We are especially pleased to offer this highly attractive channel at no extra charge to our Jingxuan pack customers, who recently had Celestial Movies and SingTel’s self-packaged Jia Le Channel  added to their Jingxuan pack at no extra charge too. We are always looking to expand our customers’ entertainment options while adding value.”

 
ONE was first launched in October 2010 in Malaysia and is also carried in Cambodia and Indonesia.
