Turner eyes slice of Thai broadcast market

US-BASED TURNER Asia Pacific Ventures says it is seeking possible business opportunity in Thailand's over Bt70-billion TV broadcasting industry after the digital terrestrial TV is put in place, either through a partnership or joint venture.

Yesterday, it announced that it has formed "M Turner", a new 51: 49 joint venture with Major Kantana Broadcasting (MKB), which is a joint venture between film-maker M Picture and Kantana Group. The new company will operate "Boomerang" channel. This free-to-air TV channel for children will be available both via cable and satellite TV network, and will go on the air from August 14. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/business/Turner-eyes-slice-of-Thai-broadcast-market-30211587.html
