13 April 2013

MUMBAI: CNN has signed a multi-year broadcast affiliation agreement with Thai News Network (TNN), Thailand's first 24-hour Thai- language news channel, which will provide TNN access to CNN's live breaking news coverage, news and feature programming, as well as its video portal.

This agreement expands on the existing multi-platform partnership CNN has with TNN's parent company, True Visions Group and includes provision of training and information sharing with CNN.

"CNN and Turner International Asia Pacific are delighted to be building further on our long-term partnership with True Visions Group, enabling TNN to provide the people of Thailand and Thai-speaking viewers across the world with best-in-class international news coverage," said Turner International Asia Pacific president and MD Steve Marcopoto.

"By entering into this affiliation agreement with CNN, TNN demonstrates its determination to deliver the best Thai-language international breaking news coverage to its viewers," added True Visions Executive Vice- Chairman and TNN Chairman Sompan Charumilinda.
