Mar. 3--Media of Medias Plc (MOM), a SET-listed entertainment firm, has teamed up with a Laotian partner to launch an MTV-style satellite music television channel as part of its business expansion abroad.

Dubbed T Channel, or the Traditional Channel, it will broadcast Asean folk music 24 hours a day, with a potential audience covering 22 countries around the world. Total investment was over 30 million baht.

The channel was officially introduced earlier last month, in a joint venture with MVtv Co of Laos, which holds a 10-year satellite broadcasting contract awarded by Vientiane.
