VANCOUVER – Vancouver’s over-the-air ethnic TV station, channel m, is expanding its Korean newscast to five days a week.
channel m News Korean Edition will be aired Tuesday through Saturday at 7:30 a.m. starting this week. Anchored by Mee Aee Chung, the program will cover local, provincial, national and international news, including stories from Korea. It’s produced in co-operation with the news team from TV Korea Production Ltd. and its president, Ben Choi.
“We are very pleased to be adding the Korean Edition to our daily news line-up”, says Dianne Collins, channel m’s News Director. “The Korean community in Vancouver will now be able to watch the news, in their language, five days a week.”
channel m notes that provincial government statistics show that the number of immigrants from Korea has been increasingly steadily to British Columbia, with most of them settling in the Vancouver area.
The locally owned station airs free programming in more than 20 different languages, including Cantonese, Mandarin, and Punjabi.
