Voom HD programming to be available in luxury hotels in HK
MUMBAI: Rainbow HD Holdings, LLC (Rainbow), has added new Voom HD content to its slate of offerings distributed by Tangerine Global, LLC to five star hotels in Hong Kong.
Rave HD is said to be the fifth Voom HD brand to be distributed by Tangerine Global, with the other four brands-Rush HD, Equator HD, Ultra HD and Gallery HD.
Rave HD will be accessible to Mandarin Oriental Hotels’ newly refurbished flagship property in Hong Kong, according to an official release.
Provider of customised television entertainment for the hospitality industry, Tangerine Global first turned to Rainbow last year to provide high-quality HDTV content for its five-star hotel clientele, informs the statement.
The companies began with a lineup of four Rainbow brands for distribution to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group and The Peninsula Hotels.
Rave HD was added to the lineup earlier this month, when Hong Kong’s Mandarin Oriental Hotel reopened to a gala celebration after undergoing a $140 million dollar rennovation to incorporate revolutionary technology, comfort and design.
All guest rooms and suites now feature flat screen high-definition televisions on which guests will find Voom’s thematic programming and two additional custom HD channels-Wine & Beverage and Fitness & Yoga-developed by Tangerine.
“Voom HD content is custom-tailored to meet the discriminating tastes of the clientele served by Tangerine Global’s luxury hotelier partners,” said Rainbow senior vice president business development Glenn Oakley.
“We look forward to working with Tangerine to provide a superb entertainment experience for the Mandarin Oriental’s guests, while they expand our offerings to other five-star properties as well,” he added.
Tangerine Global CEO Stuart Levin adds, “The innovations made to The Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong are awe-inspiring, making it truly the perfect setting in which to enjoy Voom HD’s top-of-the-line programming.”

Network18 channels lead YouTube news viewership in March 2026
CNN-News18, News18 India and CNBC channels top categories with record views
MUMBAI: When the world hit refresh on breaking news, Network18’s channels were already streaming ahead. As geopolitical tensions and war-driven headlines fuelled a surge in global news consumption, the network’s digital playbook delivered big clocking record Youtube viewership across English, Hindi and business news categories in March 2026.
At the forefront was CNN-News18, which emerged as the clear leader in the English news segment with 130 million live and video-on-demand views. The channel edged past competitors such as Times of India (126.5 million), Times Now (101.1 million), India Today (88.2 million) and NDTV (77.5 million), according to Databeings data for March.
In the Hindi news arena, News18 India delivered a commanding performance, racking up a staggering 3,297 million views on YouTube. The channel comfortably outpaced NDTV India, which recorded 3,119 million views, underlining its deep reach and consistent engagement with mass audiences, as per Playboard data.
The network’s dominance wasn’t confined to general news. In the Hindi business segment, CNBC Awaaz topped the charts with 92 million views, narrowly ahead of Zee Business (90 million) and well ahead of ET Now Swadesh (57 million). Meanwhile, its English counterpart CNBC-TV18 posted a strong 58 million views, reinforcing the network’s cross-category strength.
The spike in viewership reflects a broader shift in audience behaviour, with viewers increasingly turning to digital platforms particularly Youtube for real-time updates and in-depth coverage during high-intensity news cycles. For Network18, the numbers signal more than just scale; they underline the effectiveness of a multi-platform strategy that blends speed, credibility and continuous coverage.
In a month where the news never paused, it seems viewers chose to stay tuned where the stream never stopped.
