NEW YORK, Jan. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ContentPort,
Inc. ("ContentPort"), a leader in international, in-language
content distribution, is changing the way consumers enjoy
programming with their upcoming launch of the popular Phoenix television services, "Phoenix North
America Chinese Channel" and "Phoenix InfoNews."
ContentPort operates under the simple, powerful theory that
customers shouldn't have to purchase expensive equipment, bundles
and packages of content, or be locked into costly commitments, to
view the channels they want at the lowest price.
For the first time, the Phoenix
channels will be available across major consumer devices (iPads®,
IPhones®, Android® smartphones/tablets, Kindle Fires®, Samsung®
phones/tablets/Smart TVs, Google TV®, etc.), independent of forced
or undesired services or hardware and without customer contracts.
Viewers can enjoy their favorite shows, live and catch up on
demand, by downloading the free "Phoenix-Contentport" App
from iTunes®, Google Play® and/or a supported device, and signing
up at www.cport.tv/chinese.
ContentPort is changing the distribution landscape by listening
to consumer needs. Marvin M.
Berchin, CEO of ContentPort, puts it simply,
"Consumers have been clear what they want out of television
services: high quality, a la carte type selection, lower cost
programming and hardware and an ability to enjoy content wherever
and whenever they wish, all with flexibility and at the lowest
price. ContentPort addresses and delivers on these needs
while others do not."
ContentPort's model for Phoenix
and other upcoming launches, is supported by the following:
Availability. ContentPort's advanced distribution
system supports major platforms/devices.
Lowest price. ContentPort is launching Phoenix with its lowest effective price
ever--$5.99/month for both
services---with nothing else to buy.
Streaming. Up to six devices/account can simultaneously
stream.
AutoDVR. Automatically records a full day's
programming, allowing viewers to watch their favorite daily shows
anytime, anywhere.
Wu Xiaoyong, Phoenix CEO, noted:
"We are delighted to partner with ContentPort in improving the
flexibility and availability of our services. Phoenix values its viewership and is very
excited by this intuitive, forward-thinking platform which removes
accessibility barriers, be they pricing, programming, hardware or
location based."
