StarHub barely hurt by SingTel's 40 Fox International channels

It is focusing on its new TV Anywhere service.

Iris Wee, Vice President of Home Solutions & Content of Starhub, issued the following response to SingTel’s addition of 40 FIC channels to mio TV:

We had announced last year that our FIC partnership renewal was on a non-exclusive basis, so this doesn't come as a surprise to us. StarHub customers still enjoy a more comprehensive range of content from us, through a stable and reliable network that delivers a superior viewing experience.

While we continue to enrich our existing portfolio of over 180 channels, we are now very much focused in expanding our range of content to personal devices with our TV Anywhere service to give customers greater value for their subscription.

TV Anywhere allows viewers to catch their favourite TV channels, including FIC channels like FOX Movies Play and STAR Chinese Movies Play, on mobile devices such as laptops and tablets. This takes entertainment beyond the living room and empowers our customers with the choice to view the content they want, wherever and whenever they desire.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
