Gem, the JV entertainment channel between Sony Pictures Television (SPT) Networks and Nippon Television Network Corporation (Nippon TV), announced today the expansion of its distribution to Indonesia, the Philippines and Singapore, making the channel available to viewers on over 10 pay-TV platforms across six markets in Asia.

Since its launch in 2015, Gem has carved a niche in the premium Asian entertainment space offering first-run and exclusive dramas, comedies and variety entertainment shows from Japan and other northeast Asian markets. Earlier this month, the channel made its foray into original production with the global premiere of ‘We are Asia – Dean Fujioka And Friends’, a five-part entertainment documentary series featuring Dean Fujioka and rising star Shuhei Nomura, rock band Weaver, and video projection dance sensation Siro-A.

Sony Pictures Television Networks, Asia senior VP, GM Ang Hui Keng said, “GEM is gaining traction in Asia as it cements its position as the top destination for high quality, express content from Japan and northeast Asia. We’re focused on taking GEM beyond the screen and into the lives of fans across the region via talent tours, local filming and fan meets. Our new series, ‘We are Asia – Dean Fujioka & Friends’, marks the first original series for GEM, and will pave the way for more localized content in the future.”

Nippon TV president, international business development Atsushi Hatayama said, “We are happy to know that GEM and its lineup of compelling content have been well-received by our viewers and pay-TV platforms across the region. We are looking forward to welcoming new viewers in the Philippines and Indonesia where Japanese content has not been shown before on this scale. The Singaporeans have a great appreciation for Japanese content, and can now watch it without delay. We are dedicated to bringing express telecast shows to Gem so viewers should look forward to catching the latest shows close to the Japan broadcast.”

Fans of Japanese and northeast Asian entertainment can now enjoy Gem on the following pay-TV platforms in Asia:

*Indonesia: Indovision, MyRepublic, Nexmedia, Skynindo and Transvision

*The Philippines: Via ACCION’s distribution network of provincial cable affiliates

*Singapore: Launching on 1 August, 2016 on Singtel TV

Gem is already available on PPCTV in Cambodia, nowTV in Hong Kong and TrueVisions in Thailand.
