Total Variety Network is an Asian lifestyle and entertainment channel that will be subtitled in English, Chinese and Malay; and dubbed in Cantonese, Mandarin and Thai. The channel will be distributed together with National Geographic Channel HD, Nat Geo Wild HD and Fox Family Movies HD in the FIC network on MEASAT’s HD platform.

   Measat-3 satellite is co-located with Measat-3a at the 91.5 degrees East orbital slot to provide premium video services across the region. The operator said the orbital slot will be enhanced in 2013 with the addition of Measat-3b satellite.

   “The distribution of Total Variety Network HD via Measat-3 enhances the range of high-quality content on our HD platform, making Measat the fastest growing HD channel distributor and the preferred choice for broadcasters in the region,” Measat Director of Broadcast Service Sales Jarod Lopez said in a statement.
