Phoenix Movies Channel

Phoenix Movies Channel is one of the six channels that Phoenix Television operates. It was launched on August 28, 1998 and serves as an encrypted pay-television service. Currently the encrypted signal is beamed via AsiaSat 3S across China and South Korea (Via SBS). In the beginning, it was broadcast via cable in Hong Kong, and via satellite to Taiwan, and other regions worldwide besides the mainland. Due to stiff competition from other Chinese movie channels, the channel was withdrawn from those regions.
