Viewers Can Now Enjoy Locally Created Christian Content on Hope Channel
Hope Channel Papua New Guinea (PNG) started broadcasting a playlist of local content via Channel 7 on the National Broadcasting Corporation’s (NBC) 8-month-old digital TV platform facilities in Port Moresby on June 25. After some years of trying to acquire a license, Hope Channel International was previously rebroadcast to viewers in PNG from a satellite feed. With this soft launch the channel will now broadcast TV programs that are locally produced and streamed via two content servers and via their digital TV platform.
“This is a huge step forward for us,” said Brad Kemp, CEO of Adventist Media. “Our desire is to bring quality Christian television with PNG content to the people of PNG. Our current percentage of local content is around 28 percent. We are working on increasing this with plans to do major content development over the next 12 months.”
Sinclair Singuit, a senior TV engineer from NBC, said, “I am quite pleased to witness this development, and our monitoring of the local content quality on the channel in the past 48 hours was excellent.”
“Hope Channel PNG now joins the global Hope family to proclaim Jesus and His life-changing power through television ministry,” Kemp said.
