[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] LG HelloVision announced on the 23rd that it will conduct special inspections of broadcasting facilities located at cable TV operators (SO) nationwide and activate an emergency response system to ensure stable cable TV service during the Lunar New Year holiday.

First, anticipating an increase in the use of live broadcasts and video on demand (VOD) services, LG HelloVision completed special inspections of 2,600 broadcasting facilities located at the Seoul Yangcheon Digital Media Center, the broadcasting signal transmission hub, and 24 SO locations nationwide.

LG HelloVision explained, "This measure is to prevent broadcasting service disruptions that may occur during the Lunar New Year holiday in advance and to respond quickly if problems arise, so that customers can use 'HelloTV' without inconvenience."

The LG HelloVision Quality and Safety Center and the Wide-area Control Team will operate a 24-hour emergency response system during the holiday period and also run the Integrated Control Center situation room. The situation room at the Integrated Control Center will detect faults using its own monitoring system and comprehensively control the situation. The Wide-area Control Team plans to respond to various faults and emergencies occurring in their respective jurisdictions.

Kim Dong-rae, head of the LG HelloVision Quality and Safety Center, said, "During the holiday period, TV and VOD service usage rates increase by about 20 to 30%, so preemptive measures are essential," adding, "We will do our best to ensure customers can enjoy broadcasting services comfortably."
