TAN, Thai-ASEAN News is Thailand's only 24-hourEnglish news channel

Who are we? We are Thailand's only 24-hourEnglish news channel.

Aimed to showcase all aspects of the Kingdom of Thailand and countries throughout the entire ASEAN regions to its both Thai and foreign viewers, Thai-ASEAN News (TAN) Network or the former Thailand Outlook Channel (TOC) broadcasts via Asia Satellite Television (ASTV). Despite the same broadcasting entity, TAN Network is absolutely independent from ASTV. Broadcasting entirely in English from the Thai capital of Bangkok, TAN Network is operated and managed by Thai nationals. It offers a perfect arena for everything you need to know about Thailand and of countries throughout the entire ASEAN region. The end-goal of the channel is to give a voice to the untold stories throughout the land, promote debate, and challenge established perceptions that surround the Thai media.

A widespread distribution network is also under way to ensure that the channel's viewers, regardless of where they are, can access the network. A recent poll conducted by Assumption University estimates TAN Network viewers at around two million and that figure is constantly on the rise. The poll also concluded that TAN Network is the most widely watched English news channel in Thailand.

TAN Network is now carried by all members of the Cable Operators Association of Thailand, thus ensuring that it can be viewed in all 76 provinces across the country. At present TAN Network can also be viewed via the Internet at www.tannetwork.tv. A large number of the channel’s outstanding programs are carried via the ASTV-US feed, widely watched by Thais and foreigners living in the United States and elsewhere around the world.

TAN Network encompasses both news and entertainment content. The channel’s news programs focus on giving both general information and in-depth analysis to the key issues that make the headlines in the kingdom, allowing non-Thai visitors to understand what’s going on in the country.
