HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 19 January 2024 – HKT (SEHK: 6823) – Now TV announced the addition of a new streaming service option in the form of an over-the-top (OTT) video-streaming app, offering a flexible and convenient way for more customers to enjoy exciting world-class programmes, including the live broadcast of the highly anticipated Tatler XFEST: Hong Kong Team vs Inter Miami CF exhibition match. Now TV customers can participate in a game for a chance to win tickets for a first-hand experience of the event.

Bruce Lam, Chief Executive Officer, Consumer, HKT, said, “Since its launch in 2003, Now TV has been committed to curating an array of top-notch programmes for viewers. The newly introduced service option provides users with a more flexible and convenient viewing experience, offering an alternative for users who find a set-top box unsuitable for their home environment. Meanwhile, we will continue to seek out more quality content from around the world to cater for different viewers while consolidating Now TV’s status as Hong Kong’s leading content aggregator.”

As the official broadcaster for the Hong Kong Team vs Inter Miami CF exhibition match, which will take place at the Hong Kong Stadium on 4 February, Now TV will not only provide free live coverage of the event on Now Sport Prime (Ch. 630), but also present an experience and content unique to Now TV users.
