Fashion TV expands operations in Vietnam
(VOV) - Fashion TV recently announced programming changes and expansion plans through 2017 for its 24 hour standalone feed into Vietnam, reaching a population in excess of 92 million.
The popular channel better known as ‘FTV’ broadcasts fashion retail shows and trends around the clock, promoting retail brands ranging from Victoria’s Secret to high end exclusive designers.
It originally launched in Asia in 1999 as a ‘content block’ housed during down time on other channels.
Since then it has launched as a dedicated channel throughout Asia reaching viewers from Saudi Arabia in the Northwest to New Zealand in the Southeast – 24 hours per day, seven days a week.
London-based owner Fashion Television International chose Asiasat 7, one of the satellites operated by Hong-Kong based Asiasat Satellite Telecommunications to transmit the channel.
"Fashion Television is excited about its programming and dedicated channel expansion plans for Vietnam for which we know we already have many fans,” said a public relations officer of FTV in making the announcement.
He said the whole of Asia has become the growth engine for the fashion industry and FTV looks forward to an ever expanding presence not only in Asia, but Vietnam in particular.
