Limelight has been powering the new online video service for Media Prima. By leveraging Limelight's advanced network, Media Prima now offers for the first time high quality streaming media content to audiences worldwide via its four on-demand channels, TV3, 8TV, ntv7 and TV9.

Selected content in downloadable format for fans to keep and watch when they want to will also eventually become available.
