Rewind Networks Secures HITS Carriage in South Korea

Rewind Networks and LYD are bringing the HITS channel to KT’s olleh tv IPTV platform in South Korea.

HITS debuts tomorrow as part of olleh tv’s Essence Package. Rewind Networks and LYD had previously announced a partnership earlier this year to amplify the proliferation of Rewind’s portfolio in the South Korean market. The launch of HITS on KT olleh tv celebrates the first deal for the partnership between Rewind Networks and LYD and brings the networks’ total reach in Asia to more than 16 million homes across 12 countries.

“Given South Korea’s position as a global powerhouse for entertainment media and its people’s strong appetite for quality content, Rewind Networks has been committed to making headway with this market,” said Avi Himatsinghani, CEO of Rewind Networks. “We are confident that HITS’ unique core proposition of the best TV series from the past three decades will resonate well with KT subscribers.”

“LYD is delighted to take our partnership with Rewind and KT to new heights,” said Joon Lee, founder of LYD. “This launch is yet another testament on how LYD consistently maximizes the business potential for content providers as the largest independent content and channel distributor in Korea.”
