Besides, the group operates Vietnam’s largest ecosystem for digital media, one that ps across TV, cinema, and online material. It both creates and distributes content, as well as liaising advertisements.
It currently runs a series of entertainment channels, including Yeah1TV, Yeah1family, Imovietv, and SCTV2, with nine subsidiaries and four indirect subsidiaries, including Yeah1 Vietnam Co., Netlink Online Corporation, and TNT Media Advertising.
