ATF Spotlight: TV5MONDE Asia-Pacific

SINGAPORE: TV5MONDE is available across the Asia-Pacific region in almost every market, but Alexandre Muller, the managing director of TV5MONDE Asia-Pacific, says that the company is looking to shore up distribution in Malaysia and also further penetration in Australasia as well as in Japan and Korea.

TV5MONDE currently offers English subtitles on its TV5MONDE Asia SD feed on Asia­sat 7; English, French, Russian and Vietnamese on the Asian HD feed on Measat; and English, French, Japanese and Korean on the TV5MONDE Pacifique HD channel.

“The next step for us is to add Bahasa Indonesia as well as traditional and simplified Chinese,” says Muller.

Program highlights for the end of the year include the lifestyle series Qui sera le prochain grand pâtissier? and Les maîtres du rêve.
