According to the China Post, TAIPEI (The China Post) — Taiwan Public Television Service (公視, PTS) launched its new English video streaming platform “PTS WORLD TAIWAN” on YouTube on Monday.
The new streaming service, which offers an incredible variety of programming services to social media outlets and audiences across the world, will allow Taiwan’s community voices to be heard by a non-Chinese-speaking, international audience, enabling Taiwan to take center stage on a global platform.
Hoping to expand international reach, PTS aims to serve English-speakers living in Taiwan and overseas, making it an easily accessible portal to connect viewers around the world.
PTS English News will also air on PTS WORLD TAIWAN as a daily broadcast service. What’s more, news broadcasts in Thai, Indonesian and Vietnamese are available to serve new immigrants in Taiwan, keeping them abreast of top national stories and latest headlines.
More than 100 hours-worth of drama, documentaries, news, and programs created for children and youth, along with productions focused on lifestyle and personal wellbeing, will be aired when the platform goes live.

Speaking at the launch of the event on Monday, PTS Chairperson Chen Yu-Chiou (陳郁秀), cited delightful landscapes, rich cultures, and vibrant community experience as some of the greatest gifts that Taiwan has to offer.
She added a “diamond analogy” to Taiwan, noting with confidence that “The whole of Taiwan can be likened to the finest diamond: every facet glitters.”
Her greatest hope is to dazzle the international community with “Tai-WANderful” on PTS WORLD TAIWAN, she said.
