NTD, The Epoch Times’ sister media, is expanding its 24/7 English programming across the United States and the UK.
NTD began its TV broadcasts in the United States on Verizon/Frontier FiOS channel 158 last July. In less than a year, NTD became a nationwide over-the-air (OTA) network, with cable distribution in New York, the District of Columbia, Philadelphia, Boston, Los Angeles, and Chicago.
NTD is currently available across 30 states in the United States and reaches over 50 million households through OTA TV stations and cable.
NTD expects to expand its cable TV subscribers to 20 million in July.
In the UK, the network launched its first broadcast in February on Sky TV channel 190, and in April, it launched its second broadcast on Freeview through Channelbox 271. Freeview and Sky TV are the two largest TV service providers in the UK and cover about 20 million TV households.
NTD delivers independent news, current affairs, classical arts, and culture programs. It is a global, multilingual, U.S.-based television broadcaster founded by Chinese Americans that is free from external influences and covers stories that others don’t.
It produces and broadcasts more than five hours of original programs every day, with news as its feature programs. Its arts and lifestyle programs embody universal values and celebrate the best of humanity’s culture and traditions.
Audiences welcome NTD for its fresh programming.
