ABN TIDAK TAKUT HUJAN

KUALA LUMPUR : Asia Broadcasting Network (ABN), televisyen kabel digital yang akan menawarkan 500 saluran untuk pelanggan dilancarkan malam tadi oleh Menteri KPKK, Dato Seri Utama Dr Rais Yatim.

ABN, milik Nilamas Corporation, dijangka menjadi saingan kepada ASTRO kerana pelbagai kelebihan yang dinyatakan termasuk kadar bayaran yang rendah dan tiada gangguan ketika hujan seperti yang dialami oleh pelanggan ASTRO sekarang.

Pelanggan yang ingin mendapatkan perkhidmatan ABN perlu membeli setup box untuk membolehkan siaran disalurkan menerusi kabel ke rumah mereka. Perkhidmatan seperti ini yang pernah ditawarkan oleh anak syarikat TV3 iaitu Mega TV akan menarik pelanggan jika mereka menawarkan isi kandungan menarik.

Untuk itu, CEO ABN, Sreedhar Subramaniam, berkata pihaknya bukan saja membeli program daripada pihak luar tetapi juga menerbitkannya menerusi pasukan penerbitan yang profesional. ABN juga akan mempunyai akademi untuk melatih tenaga kerjanya.
