FUJIAN, China--()--China MediaExpress Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ GS: CCME) (“CME” or “Company”), China’s largest television advertising operator on inter-city and airport express buses, today announced that it has renewed its existing agreement with Hunan Satellite Television (operated by Hunan Satellite Programming Company Limited), to obtain free entertainment content.
This two-year arrangement which will commence on September 1, 2010, will allow CME to continue to obtain quality entertainment programming from Hunan Satellite Television at no cost. All of the terms of this agreement remain the same as the terms of the original contract.
Zheng Cheng, CME’s Founder and CEO, noted, “We are happy to renew our agreement with Hunan Satellite Television, which is one of the most popular satellite TV channels in China. Our passengers will continue to view their favorite programs in the bus and at home. Having high approval ratings from our passengers for the programs that we display to make the trip a more enjoyable experience has always been our goal. These ratings have also provided our advertising clients with the platform they are seeking to promote their brands to a wider audience, which would otherwise be more difficult or expensive to reach through conventional distribution channels.”
