CTN TV plans to launch a new station, named “My CPP TV.” The station will start its broadcast on 01 January 2009.
According to Som Chaya, CTN director, “we offer a new station to the public because right now, we have to manage too many programs and too many sponsors. With only one station, we cannot fulfill the demand, in particular for the advertisements. MyCPP TV will broadcast programs aimed at the youths, as well as for advertisements.”
Khieu Kanharith, minister of Information, gave his comment on the expansion of the Cambodian audiovisual landscape by saying: “In 2009, we will benefit with one additional station. More stations bring more job opportunities for students, and [this new station] will help reduce CTN’s operation cost.”
Cambodia currently has 9 national TV stations and more than 40 FM radio stations.
