SET to launch television channel

BANGKOK: -- Financiers, investors and anyone with an interest in the Thai economy and money markets will soon get a specially dedicated television channel, thanks to a new initiative by the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET).

Announcing the launch of the satellite-based Money Channel yesterday, Mr. Ratchaphol Laowanich from Family Know-How Co. Ltd. said that the SET had asked his company to produce Thailand's very first channel dedicated exclusively to financial and economic matters.

The channel, a joint project between the SET and Channel 5 TV, will be officially launched on 29 April to mark the SET's 30th anniversary.

Based on the concept of 'all about your money', the channel's programmes will focus on the movements of the economy and money markets.

Likening the channel to a friend able to give simple and interesting financial advice, Mr. Ratchaphol said that the information presented would be up-to-date, interesting and easy to understand.

The channel will target the general public, rather than producing heavy reports for economists.

That should be rivetting.

Like watching paint dry?

You are getting mixed up - Thai soapies are like watching paint dry...this will be FAR more rivetting even than that!

This sounds like it may be a good channel. Do you know if it will have an english language audience in mind? The set has kind of bashed my head in latley. Do any of you believe it will hit 800 this coming year?

Are there any proper Thai investors?

I thought they were all Thai-Chinese day traders.
