CatchPlay Movie Station

CatchPlay is a Taiwanese multimedia company founded in 2007, whose businesses include OTT VOD streaming service operation, linear television channel operation (CatchPlay Movie Channel) and theatrical film distribution. Legally, it operates as a Taiwan branch of CatchPlay, Inc. (Chinese: 威望國際娛樂股份有限公司), a company registered in Cayman Islands.

Recent years have seen the brand extend into more diverse aspects of the movie entertainment industry. Since making its first production investment in 2014 – co-financing the Taiwanese film Paradise in Service – CATCHPLAY has expanded its investments to include three New Regency films, most notably The Revenant and Assassin’s Creed in 2016–17. In 2015, CATCHPLAY began partnering with local telecom providers across Southeast Asia to launch CATCHPLAY On Demand, a premium movie on-demand service.

Capitalizing on the digitalization of Taiwan’s pay TV systems, CATCHPLAY HD Movie Channel was launched in early 2013. Today the service has approximately one million subscribers and is rated as one of the most popular digital movie channels in Taiwan.

In addition to its own movie channel, CATCHPLAY supplies content for various Video on Demand services in Taiwan, including Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan Mobile’s MyVideo service, and FarEastone’s Friday Video in addition to the VOD services provided by leading pay TV operators in Taiwan. In Singapore, CATCHPLAY’s on demand service provides industry-leading content from Hollywood Studios and independent licensors for Starhub customers through StarHub TV and StarHub Go and all other Singapore consumers via the CATCHPLAY On Demand app and catchplay
