Europe, the Americas and East Asia to see documentary
The government will air a minute-long television report on CNN and BBC World to show the world the celebrations of the 60th anniversary of His Majesty the King's accession to the throne, a minister said yesterday.
Prime Minister's Office Minister Suranand Vejjajiva said CNN, with 90 million viewers, would air the one-minute slot for about a month, while BBC World, which has 65 million viewers, would carry the report until August and promote the events for free on www.bbc.co.uk.
A 30-minute documentary will also be aired on CNBC in Europe, the Americas and East Asia, he said.
The television production company Panorama has been hired to produce a series about His Majesty's life, work, talents and royal projects, Suranan said.
The series, which will have 120 90-second segments, will be translated into English.
The Department of Public Relations has constructed a
Thai and English website, www.60thcelebrations.com, to publicise the celebrations, he said.
