ContentPort to Distribute Phoenix TV Channels in Unprecedented, Consumer Friendly Manner

NEW YORK, Jan. 28, 2015 /CNW/ -- 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."
