Channel Devoted to the Taiwan Culture Now Available On KyLinTV: Chinese IPTV Service Presents Mac TV

PLAINVIEW, N.Y., July 31 /PRNewswire/ -- KyLinTV has just rolled-out Macroview Television (Mac TV), a channel all about Taiwan catered specifically to overseas Chinese, as part of the largest selection of Chinese entertainment in North America: 26 live broadcast channels and a vast video library that offers subscribers more than 20,000 hours of choice.

Mac TV, launched in March of 2004, is a channel dedicated to keeping overseas Chinese connected to Taiwan through its content that covers entertainment, fashion, food, travel and Taiwan culture. In addition to programs presented in four regional languages, Mac TV also has content that is delivered in English.

An extremely well-received variety show on Mac TV is, "Variety Show Big Brother," hosted by Zhang Fei, one of the most popular hosts of Taiwan. This program is done in a localized Taiwan style and has many celebrities join each episode. Another popular program on Mac TV is "Variety Sum-Up," where famous idols tell audiences about their road to success.

Adding Mac TV to the KyLinTV broadcast lineup brings variety for KyLinTV subscribers. The popularity of Mac TV and its viewer ratings have been steadily increasing and the addition of programs from Mac TV on KyLinTV is another step that KyLinTV has taken in an ongoing effort to expand its content offerings to North America.

"It is so great to see Taiwanese content on KyLinTV, said Chin-Chou Wu, a KyLinTV subscriber from NY. "I especially enjoy the cooking shows on Mac TV. There are so many native Taiwanese delicacies that I didn't know about!"

Other top-rated shows found on Mac TV include "The Voice of Taiwan," a program that invites guests to discuss the political, social and economical affairs of Taiwan and "Happy Formula," a program devoted to science and technology that invites special guests to compete in intense electronic games.

KyLinTV subscribers will have direct access to the most popular broadcasts from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. In addition, KyLinTV will broadcast US Chinese channels with programs produced exclusively for North American consumers.

Viewers can tune in to live broadcast channels on KyLinTV and watch the programs as they air. If they miss the program they wanted to watch, subscribers have the option of using the broadcast channel companion which preserves the lineup of news and entertainment programs for 24 hours, and is a feature that is unique to KyLinTV. In addition, KyLinTV subscribers can take advantage of the broadcast channel on demand, an exclusive library of the most popular programs from that channel.
