The multi-year agreement involves joint promotion and marketing across South- east Asia. While exclusive regionally, deal terms allow for specific individual licens- ing agreements to be negotiated on a country-by-country basis. The deal, which will be announced this week, could be the first of other lin- ear channel collaborations with Outdoor Channel as ESPN moves further into its post-ESPN Star Sports (ESS) era in Asia. Gregg Creevey, the managing director of Outdoor Channel operator Multi Chan- nels Asia’s (MCA), said both properties were hugely successful in the U.S. and presented “enormous potential for growth in the Asia-Pacific region”. MCA’s content agreement with ESPN is part of Outdoor Channel’s 2014 push into more mainstream positioning with, among other shows, Ironman Asia Pacific cham- pionships, Australasian Safari, World Heli Challenge, Wild Spirits and the FIA Asia Pacific Rally Championships. Since the end of the ESPN Star Sports joint venture in 2012, ESPN operated no ESPN-branded linear television channels in Asia. The company’s focus has been digital platforms, including ESPNFC and ESPNcricinfo.

  • Etere and ABS-CBN Knowledge Channel
    11/12/2008 Press Etere a consistent system Etere and ABS-CBN Knowledge Channel ETERE was the perfect answer for the expansion of the ABS-CBN’s system. Knowledge is the educational channel owned by Creative Programs Inc. (an ABS-CBN subsidiary) that has been following a specific moral goal since its first debut in 1999: foresting “the vision of a community of educated, empowered, and responsible citizens working relentlessly for a better Philippines”. This is Knowledge’s main purpose. Knowledge Channel Obviously, ETERE with its multi-year experience in software solutions, was more than happy to support such an all-worthy motto, and therefore Knowledge. ETERE was the perfect answer for the expansion of the ABS-CBN’s system, especially taking into consideration its capacity to implement such an ambitious project by using all the existing infrastructures (ABS-CBN already runs more than 20 channels). The extreme modularity of ETERE allows you expanding simply by adding the necessary pieces. Its distributed architecture, without a single point of failure, allows easy and unlimited expansion. Knowledge Channel ETERE is a TV management system that is based on a SQL Media Asset Management system, able to integrate all functions inside a media company by automating and linking them together in a single consistent system. ETERE controls the following devices for Knowledge: • INCA Character Generator • 1 SeaChange Videoserver BML/MCL 4012 • n. 1 Quartz router via Etere Sarvaji • 56 computers Thanks to the virtualization of the serial port embedded in ETERE, the 56 PCs can share the same resources even with serial control and with no need of any additional Rs422 Router.

  • ABSTRACT VAN BAKERGEM, MARGARET ANNE. Exploring Health and Well-Being Considerations in Multifamily Real Estate Development
    ABSTRACT VAN BAKERGEM, MARGARET ANNE. Exploring Health and Well-Being Considerations in Multifamily Real Estate Development (Under the direction of Dr. James Aaron Hipp). The real estate industry has largely been left out of discussions among built environment and public health stakeholders about how to create healthy communities. Considering the rising rates of urbanization and the increased demand for multifamily housing, multifamily real estate developers are well-positioned to integrate healthy community and building principles into their decision-making. Multifamily developers’ decisions around health and well-being (HWB) strategies may holistically contribute to curbing rising rates of chronic disease and enhance feelings of well-being While most multifamily developers do not adopt a health lens in their approach to development, several early adopters are intentionally targeting health promotion in their projects. It is an emerging consideration and little is known about how these multifamily developers think and talk about health. Moreover, due to its nascence, limited literature is available within the real estate discipline, potentially delaying awareness of the benefits a health and well- being perspective can bring to how built environments are formed. This dissertation aimed to explore the emergence of HWB constructs in real estate literature and practice. The three-article dissertation was guided by grounded theory principles. The first article explored the emergence of HWB in real estate literature using a descriptive keyword approach. The second article used multiple case studies of three multifamily developers deemed early adopters for pursuing health to gain insights into how HWB is conceptualized. Finally, the third article proposes a framework outlining the overarching principles of a HWB vision for real estate development.
