KyLinTV Joins China International TV Corporation to Celebrate Five Years of Innovative Great Wall TV


NEW YORK, Oct. 31 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --


    China International TV Corporation (CITVC) and KyLinTV jointly launched a series of events in New York to

celebrate the fifth anniversary of CITCV's innovative Chinese culture broadcast package, Great Wall TV, in the

United States.


    The Great Wall Package is comprised of 24 channels including the major domestic and international news

channels CCTV-4 and CCTV-9. Also included in the package are the Chinese Movie Channel, CCTV-Opera,

CCTV-Entertainment, Hunan TV, Beijing TV, Shanghai Dragon TV, Phoenix TV and other flagship provincial

channels that keep the four million Chinese living in North America connected to their hometowns. KyLinTV is the

largest provider of IPTV to Chinese homes in North America. 


    Li Jian, President of CITVC, said: "We are glad to see Great Wall TV's influence has grown rapidly in the past

five years. We appreciate the extraordinary efforts of KyLinTV to provide us with superior services in delivering

content to our subscribers. Besides targeting the Chinese community, Great Wall Package also serves as a bridge

for non-Chinese speaking people to keep themselves informed about Chinese news/entertainment and learn

Chinese culture and languages."


    "Bringing the culture of the Chinese people to the world is a special opportunity that KyLinTV with Great Wall TV

can deliver in an entirely unique way," said Charles B. Wang, Chairman of KyLinTV. "Specifically, the Great Wall

package provides a window for the expansion of the cultural exchange between the United States and China. This

exchange will help develop greater business and cultural understanding." 


    The KyLinTV-CITCV partnership began in January 2008, when CITVC and KyLinTV jointly announced the

distribution of the Great Wall TV Package on KyLinTV's IPTV platform. KyLinTV is the first IPTV platform to

distribute the Great Wall TV package to the United States, Canada and other territories in the world." 


    Jianbing Duan, President of KyLinTV, said: "The partnership with CITVC and Great Wall TV continues to further

KyLinTV's mission of offering the best programming, the most choices and uniting the worldwide Chinese

community through new user experience of its IPTV platform."


    According to industry trends, IPTV is the fastest growing media platform due to unrestricted channel capacity

and no geographic boundaries. Chinese American households have the highest adoption of broadband Internet.

KyLinTV delivers real time TV channels and VOD programs through public internet directly to subscribers' TV sets,

and the service is available to any household with a broadband Internet connection. KyLinTV's IPTV service gives
