HONG KONG – Indonesia's Indovision has begun carriage of the BBC Worldwide's BBC Knowledge and children's channel Cbeebies.

          Both channels will be localized within six months of launch, with BBC Knowledge carrying Bahasa Indonesia subtitles, and CBeebies dubbed.

          "Offering our channels on Indovision's basic platform and its soon-to-be-launched TopTV and OKevision platforms reaches the widest possible Indonesian pay-TV audience - over 250,000 homes - adding to the growing audience for our channels in this region," Christine Leo-McKerrow, BBC Worldwide's senior VP and GM, Global Channels Asia-Pacific, said.

          Indovision, which has some 60% of Indonesia's pay-TV market, is part of the  Global Mediacom group, which also wholly owns Media Nusantara Citra, the country's largest media group.
