Latens SystemsGlobeVISION, Inc. announced an agreement to carry content from Education Broadcasting Station (EBS), the largest terrestrial public education broadcaster in Korea, on GlobeVISION's PIE Service, the first on-demand Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) service for Asian-Americans and Asian-Canadians launching later this year. The deal further solidifies GlobeVISION's PIE Service as the distribution channel of choice for top Korean producers, distributors, networks, broadcasters and content providers looking to reach North American audiences.
"This deal highlights how GlobeVISION's PIE Service is the ideal pipeline for all genres, from education to entertainment, that brings top Korean programming directly to television sets in North America," stated Edward Bach, CEO and President of GlobeVISION. The arrangement with EBS goes beyond children's education programs to include cultural and documentary programming for adults. About 70 percent of Korean students also use EBS study materials.
GlobeVISION's PIE service is available in limited markets now and will launch nationwide later this year with thousands of Korean movie and television titles covering sports, news, comedy, drama, education...even faith-based programming.
The heavy-hitters of Korean media that have lined up behind GlobeVISION with content agreements in recent months include Korea's two largest private broadcasters (MBC and SBS), largest cable media group (CJ Media), top movie studio (CJ Entertainment), top independent television drama production studio (Yoon's Color), one of the top cable channels (JoongAng Broadcasting) and largest Christian programming broadcaster (CGN TV). GlobeVISION's PIE service will quickly expand to include programming from all over Asia including China and India.
