Thaksin launches 100 online TV channels thumbnail

BANGKOK, 2 November 2009 (NNT) – Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has launched 100 television channels online on Sunday with an emphasis to revive products of his initiated One Tambon One Product project.

The first two channels aired are the O channel and the clever channel. The O Channel will promote OTOP goods while the Clever Channel will be for educational purposes. English and mathematic classes are offered by famous tutors with cooperation from the Thaicom Foundation and Shinawatra University.

Speaking via O Channel, the deposed prime minister cited his initiative for the OTOP project and its aim to create more income for farmers. He said the OTOP industry needed to be revived as it currently lacked support from the present administration. Mr Thaksin further stated that the OTOP Channel would provide worldwide access for people to view OTOP products. His programs can be viewed on www.100channelstv.com.

The OTOP project was initiated during Thaksin’s administration, as he encouraged each tambon to create their own products to boost income at the grass-roots level.
