MUMBAI: MHz Networks in the US which delivers content over the net has launched Japan's NHK World TV in Washington. The news network will be available in English as MHz Networks' sixth international channel offering.

Next month NHK World will also be available on MHz 6 on Comcast Channel 206 and at a later date on Verizon and RCN.

Along with presenting a different perspective to the American audience, NHK World provides a direct opportunity to get information from and about Japan and Asia. NHK World is the international version of NHK Japan Broadcasting Corporation with programs drawn from NHK's domestic channels, magazine shows and documentaries produced by NHK.

MHz Networks GM, executive VP Frederick Thomas says, "NHK is one of the greatest broadcast organisations in the world and we are committed to helping them become an integral part of the D.C. TV market. I think Washington area audiences will love NHK World".
