PLAINVIEW, N.Y., Jan. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- China International Television Corporation (CITVC) and KyLinTV announce today an agreement to provide global distribution of the Great Wall TV Package on KyLinTV's IPTV platform.

KyLinTV consolidates Great Wall content from Europe, Asia and America to provide the most comprehensive and in-depth channel collection to its viewers. Starting in February, KyLinTV will offer the Great Wall Package in North America. This is the most expansive Great Wall Package comprised of 20 channels including: CCTV-4 and CCTV-9 which are major domestic and international news channels, Chinese Movie Channel, CCTV-Opera, CCTV-Entertainment and various provincial channels that keep Chinese living in North America connected to their hometown.

The collaboration between CITVC and KyLinTV supplies more Chinese programming to the worldwide overseas Chinese community. Due to unrestricted channel capacity and no geographic boundaries, IPTV allows an unlimited amount of Great Wall programming to reach viewers worldwide.

According to industry trends, IPTV is the fastest growing media platform and Chinese American households have the highest adoption of broadband Internet. KyLinTV delivers channels from China directly to the TV, and the service is available to any household with a broadband Internet connection. KyLinTV's IPTV service gives greater reach, more access and content choices to viewers.

"The cooperation with KyLinTV has been endorsed by China's SARFT (State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television). CITVC will double its efforts to diversify and increase programming for the Great Wall Package in a bid to better service Chinese globally. CITVC has attached great importance to new media platforms and Great Wall Package (Europe) has already kicked off in Paris on IPTV as of August 28th, 2006. The partnership with KyLinTV is groundbreaking in North America and makes the Great Wall Package available on both satellite and IPTV platforms," said CITVC President Li Jian.

"As the most comprehensive collection of channels, we are so pleased to welcome the Great Wall Package.
