LG CHANNELS GROWS NEWS VIEWERSHIP THROUGH ENHANCED USER EXPERIENCE - Middle East Business News and Information
Improved Access to News Content and Strengthened Broadcast Partnerships Inspire Double-Digit Growth Across Multiple Regions LG Electronics LG is advancing LG Channels viewership growth across the world, thanks to its intuitive user interface and growing variety of content. As part of this effort, LG is partnering with leading broadcasters and news organizations across multiple regions to add more news streams to the platform, making them both relevant to local audiences and easier to access and explore. Starting this month, LG Channels news content can also be accessed directly from the home screen via newly introduced News Portal. Rolled out via Q-Card in the U.S., Mexico, Brazil, the U.K. and Germany on TVs running webOS 25, this feature is expected to expand to more platforms later this year – supporting further news consumption growth, thanks to the company's free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) service. In the U.S., LG Smart TV users can access a wide array of news channels through LG Channels News Hub, a curated source for free, ad-supported news channels. The News Hub is made possible through partnerships with multiple leading national and local broadcasters whose channels are available in the News Hub, including NBCUniversal, Disney, FOX Television Stations, Bloomberg Media, Warner Bros. Discovery, Allen Media Group's Local Now, E.W. Scripps, Sinclair Broadcast Group and others. In addition, users can still access news channels through the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) on their LG Smart TVs. LG Channels also provides localized content from Local Now channels, Allen Media Group's free news streaming service, which delivers over 220 local channels in every U.S. ZIP code. Expanding its offerings for Spanish-speaking viewers, LG collaborated with NBCUniversal News Group earlier this year to introduce Telemundo Station Group's 24/7 streaming news channels. These channels – Telemundo Noticias California, Telemundo Noticias Texas, Telemundo Noticias Florida and Telemundo Noticias Noreste – deliver regional news coverage. These partnerships have been a key driver of the double-digit linear growth the LG Channels service has seen in the US, year-over-year. LG's efforts to strengthen regional news access through LG Channels were recognized in June 2025 with the Award for Achievement in Local Broadcasting at the ITVT/TVOT 21st Annual Awards for Leadership in Interactive and Multiplatform Television. This honor underscores the company's commitment to advancing news content delivery through partnerships with trusted local broadcasters. 'Our goal with LG Channels has always been to make high-quality, relevant content accessible to everyone,' said Chris Jo, head of the webOS Platform Business Center at the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. 'By working with trusted news providers and powerful broadcasters across regions and continuously improving how users discover and access content, we are making local and national news more approachable, timely and meaningful within everyday viewing.' LG Channels viewing time has increased in Mexico and Brazil as local news content becomes more available. In Mexico, major local broadcasters TV Azteca, Multimedios and Grupo Imagen joined LG Channels this year, strengthening its local news lineup. TV Azteca's FIA has emerged as the most-watched channel among the 190 channels available on LG Channels in Mexico, underscoring strong demand for quality local news. These additions have driven a 95 percent year-over-year increase in viewing hours in Mexico. In Brazil, LG Channels has expanded local news offerings with the launch of New Brasil in partnership with Grupo Bandeirantes – one of the country's leading broadcasters – CNN Brasil, and Times Brasil – Licenciado Exclusivo CNBC. Since these launches, the platform's viewing hours in Brazil have increased by more than 40 percent, with CNN Brasil the most-watched. LG also continues to expand the availability of local news content on LG Channels across Europe. In markets like the U.K. and France, news partnerships have driven strong month-over-month growth, with double-digit increases in viewership. Currently, over 100 news channels including BFM TV (France), GB News (UK), CNN International (UK, Germany, Austria and Switzerland), CNN Headlines (available in 16 European countries), Bloomberg Television (UK), Euronews IN DIRETTA (Italy) and CNN en Español (Spain) are available, with more channels, such as France 24, scheduled to launch soon. In Spain, LG Channels has added content through a landmark partnership with RTVE, the national public broadcaster. Viewers can now enjoy RTVE's premium content for free, including flagship channels La 1, La 2 and Canal 24 Horas (24H) – the latter being a trusted source for real-time national and international news. Strong local news content is increasing viewing time across other regions as well. In Australia, the addition of Sky News Australia, a leading national news network with a loyal viewership, has boosted engagement significantly. In Korea, local news from major outlets such as TV Chosun, JTBC, MBN, Channel A and YTN consistently garner the most viewing time among the 130 channels available on LG Channels. In India, LG Channels offers a wide selection of FAST news channels to meet local demand for timely, diverse information. As of June 2025, news accounts for over 40 percent of all viewing time, with news channels dominating the platform's top 10. LG Channels features over 40 news channels in eight regional languages.

Tribal student in Tamil Nadu govt school passes Class XII exam in style
R Malliga COIMBATORE: R Malliga, a tribal student, emerged as the topper at Velliyankadu Govt Higher Secondary School in Coimbatore district by scoring an impressive 539 marks, including 98 in computer applications. She is the first student from Bhagavathi Amman Kovil, a tribal hamlet, to pass the Class XII board examinations. Malliga's journey was not easy. Her parents are daily wage earners — her father works as a farm labourer, and her mother is unwell and stays at home. Her two elder brothers and sister dropped out of school due to their family's financial situation. "I got good marks only because of my teachers' support and encouragement," said a beaming Malliga. "I never expected to become the school topper. I am really happy. I want to pursue higher studies and get a good job, but I don't know which course to choose," she said.

Deivika S of MGR Nagar in Velliyankadu, another tribal student in the same school, scored 522 marks in the science group, including 96 in biology. Her parents are daily wage workers. "I scored good marks thanks to the constant encouragement and support from our teachers. They explained the subjects clearly and even conducted special classes for us," Deivika said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn How Smart Traders Use Data to Navigate Volatile Markets News Portal Try Now Undo "I wrote NEET, and I am interested in joining the BDS course," she said. Velliyankadu Govt Higher Secondary School has achieved a 100% pass result in Class XII board exams for the last 13 years. Of the 86 students who appeared for the exam this year, 15 were from tribal settlements. All of them passed. School headmaster Socrates Kulasekaran S credited the success to the relentless efforts of teachers. "Our teachers work tirelessly, even during holidays, to support the students," he said. "Enrolling tribal students and ensuring they stay in school is a challenge. Out of 920 students in our school, 136 are from tribal settlements. We constantly motivate them and offer counselling to help them continue their education. But after they finish school, they urgently need financial support to pursue higher studies," he said.

What happens when you consume excess soaked chia seeds?
Chia seeds are widely recognized for their impressive nutritional profile, offering high amounts of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and essential minerals. When soaked, they expand and form a gel-like consistency, making them easier to digest and absorb. However, consuming these nutrient-dense seeds in excess can lead to certain side effects. What happens when you consume excess soaked Chia seeds ? Chia seeds are a powerhouse of nutrients, packed with fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Just 28 grams (about 2 tablespoons) of chia seeds contain 11 grams of fiber, 4 grams of protein, and 5 grams of omega-3s, along with significant amounts of antioxidants. Operation Sindoor 'Op Sindoor's precision & execution was unimaginable': Rajnath Singh Operation Sindoor: India repels drone, missile attack across LoC Operation Sindoor: Several airports in India closed - check full list They are also rich in vitamins such as B-vitamins and minerals that support bone health, heart health, and overall wellness, making them an excellent addition to a balanced diet. Digestive Issues Soaked chia seeds are incredibly high in fiber—about 10 grams per ounce (28 grams). While dietary fiber is important for digestive health, consuming too much can cause bloating, gas, and constipation, especially if your body is not accustomed to high-fiber foods. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn How Smart Traders Use Data to Navigate Volatile Markets News Portal Try Now Undo This happens because chia seeds absorb up to 12 times their weight in water, expanding in the digestive tract and potentially causing discomfort. There's no denying that these tiny little chia seeds are not just high in nutrients but are also great for hydration and replenishing lost nutrients. Naturally rich in fiber, plant-based omega-3s, protein, and antioxidants, chia seeds can help regulate digestion, provide satiety and provide ample hydration. Their gel-like texture makes drinks more fun and filling. This is due to their ability to absorb water up to 10 times their weight, which makes chia seeds an ideal addition to regular summer drinks. Here are some chia seed drinks that are a must in the summer season. Risk of Choking Chia seeds swell significantly when exposed to liquid. If consumed dry and followed by a drink, or if not adequately soaked, they can expand in the throat, increasing the risk of choking. It's crucial to let them soak for at least 15-20 minutes before eating to prevent this issue. Blood Thinning and Blood Pressure Effects Chia seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have natural blood-thinning properties. While this is beneficial for heart health, excessive consumption can potentially interfere with blood-clotting mechanisms. People on blood-thinning medications or those with low blood pressure should exercise caution. Interference with Nutrient Absorption Chia seeds contain phytic acid, an antinutrient that can bind to minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc, potentially reducing their absorption in the body. While this is generally not a concern with moderate consumption, eating large amounts daily may impact nutrient intake over time. Potential for Allergic Reactions Though rare, some people may experience allergic reactions to chia seeds. Symptoms might include itching, rashes, and digestive discomfort. If you experience any adverse reactions, it's best to discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now
