SINGAPORE: A+E Networks Asia has acquired the viral-video show Right This Minute for Lifetime in the region.

Due out June 8, the series’ telecast will coincide with the U.S. launch, with subsequent episodes airing in Asia on weekdays at 7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. The series will feature five hosts who will watch and comment on popular online videos.

“We’re thrilled to be the first broadcaster outside of the U.S. to launch Right This Minute,” said Michele Schofield, the senior VP of programming and production at A+E Networks Asia. “The RTM team has their finger on the pulse of what’s cool, funny, shocking and heartwarming.
