DW (Deutsche Welle), Germany’s independent broadcasting corporation today announced that it will make a huge comeback on tonton, Malaysia’s #1 and biggest OTT player.
The German international broadcaster which prides itself on independent journalism wants to contribute to diversifying international content currently available on Malaysia’s news market.
A comeback this time is made different with an offering of two types of content from DW – DW English, a linear channel and DW VOD, Video on Demand content in the form of short clips.
The integration of DW on tonton is part of its distribution effort in the Asia Pacific Region catering specifically to Malaysians.
It is also intended to promote exchange between the world’s cultures and peoples.
“It’s great news that we can again reach out to viewers on the tonton network.
“DW is offering a perspective on international news and supplies background which enables audiences around the world to better understand the world we share.
“We are striving in particular to get young audiences interested in world affairs. This is reflected in the way we present the news, but also in many programs which aim to initiate a dialogue with our users. tonton is a strong partner who provides DW with an opportunity to become a strong voice for objective information in the region,” said Peter Limbourg, Director General of Deutsche Welle.
Airin Zainul, Director of tonton, Licensing and Merchandising Television Network Media Prima Berhad speaks of the integration, “In today’s enhanced and evolving exchange of information, it is necessary that Malaysians as part of the global citizens equip ourselves with the latest developments of current affairs.
“We are positive this latest collaboration with DW will expand DW’s reach in Malaysia to the next level and help further grow tonton’s numbers. tonton is now made accessible at no cost to Malaysian consumers.”
