Line TV

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Line TV is a video-on-demand, over-the-top media service owned by Japan-based Line Corporation. It is a free-to-access, advertisement-supported service, available via mobile applications, digital media players, and the world wide web. It carries programming from local television networks, and also partners with studios to produce its own original content.

The service launched in Thailand in 2015, where it became the most popular online video platform for local television content, with over 40 million users. It later expanded to Taiwan, and in 2020 to nineteen other territories, mainly in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the United States.[1][2][3] However, the company announced in November 2021 that it would retire the service in Thailand at the end of the year.[4]
