NOW26 to air four locally produced natural resource documentaries
Digital TV Channel NOW26 is teaming up with Thai documentary producer TV Burabha to produce four documentaries this year, while jointly launching a campaign with several agencies and foundations to promote natural-resource preservation.
Somsakul Phaojindamuk, director of NOW26, Nation Multimedia Group’s digital TV channel for variety programmes, said the documentaries would be broadcast from April onwards.
“After repositioning NOW26 as the digital TV channel for documentaries, we select documentaries from the world’s best producers and leading studios, while receiving favourable response from audiences,” he said.
“Our rating has moved up to 10th place since late last year, faster than expected. It’s obvious that Thai audiences need alternatives, and documentary content is among the most needed in Asia now.”
Aside from foreign TV programmes, NOW26 is going ahead with Thai documentary producers. Last year, Thai documentary programmes gained popularity.
“We will not stop extending our content in a horizontal direction. This year, we have a new friend – an expert on Thailand’s documentary stage … as Thailand’s leading documentary producer, TV Burabha, to strengthen our TV station. It’s good for audiences to have more alternatives for quality TV programmes,” Somsakul said.
