Media Gateway, the leading international content clearing house for premium content, today announced an agreement to distribute INTV, Dubai's only English-language city channel, across digital multimedia platforms worldwide.
Through the deal, Media Gateway is able to distribute both the live, linear TV signal as well as video-on-demand content and related programs via every platform from cable and hotels to mobile phones and the Internet.
INTV is the only true television window to life in the fast-growing city of Dubai, with new programs from daily news and current affairs to business, entertainment, and special features.
'INTV has community at the very heart of its original local programming. Therefore, digital multimedia - such as mobile phones and Internet-based video on demand systems offer the ideal platform for this sort of content all over the world,' Media Gateway Chief Executive Officer Karri Zaremba said.
Stephen Marney, Managing Director for INTV, said,
'With satellite, INTV can be received across the Middle East and North Africa. But by partnering with Media Gateway, we are looking forward to increasing our reach further, and to giving English-speaking viewers everywhere more ways to watch the channel that proudly showcases the development of Dubai - when they want, and where they want.'
