Baze Technology inks unique agreement with China’s leading video news agency CCTV+ to distribute news bulletins through the Bazeport information and entertainment system
Baze Technology, a software technology company known for its innovative IPTV product, is pleased to announce a partnership with CCTV Video News Agency , China’s first and leading video news agency.
This landmark agreement will secure fresh TV news from home for Chinese seafarers as well as cruise passengers across the globe through the information-sharing and entertainment system, Bazeport.
For this on-demand news service, CCTV+ will provide a view of modern China, covering a broad range of news stories including politics, finance, society, humanity, nature, and science – all in Mandarin Chinese language. The program will initially consist of 2 x 15 minutes weekly, tailored exclusively for Bazeport.
CCTV+ will complement Bazeport’s market-leading licensed library of movie and TV content, including new blockbuster movies, popular TV series, documentaries, and news. With the system working primarily offline, crews will have a digital ‘home away from home’ video on-demand entertainment experience onboard. This helps enhance crew socialization and supports crew welfare.
“The collaboration between Baze Technology and CCTV+ is historic. China is among the top contributors to the global seafarer workforce and we’re proud to be able to launch an exclusive and tailored news product for all the Chinese seafarers around the world,” said Linda Vabø, Chief Content Officer at Baze Technology – the vendor of the Bazeport system.
“We are delighted to establish this groundbreaking collaboration with Baze Technology. We would also like to extend our appreciation to Bazeport for this opportunity to provide Chinese seafarers with video news services from China, allowing them to maintain a deep connection to their homeland despite the geographical distance,” said Gao Wei, President, Managing Director and Editor-in-Chief of CCTV Video News Agency.
