RS launches two free channels in Thailand

BANGKOK - RS, Thailand's second biggest media conglomerate, has launched two satellite-based television channels. The channels will be aired 24 hours a day and primarily focus on musical and family entertainment.

The company started the trial broadcasts last year and is reported to have received a good response for the two channels named You Channel and Sabaidee TV.

According to reports, RS invested 100 million baht (US$3 million) and expects a return on investment by year-end.

The entertainment company is looking to attract a potential audience of 20 million. 

The channels are broadcast from the Thaicom 5 satellite and can be viewed through C-band and KU-band satellite dishes, as well as cable TV systems provided by local operators.

You Channel will focus on music for teenagers while Sabaidee TV will feature popular music and offer aspiring entertainers a chance to show their talent.

An RS spokesperson said the group has plans to launch more channels in Thailand.
