There is now a Buddhist Channel on Asia Global Broadcasting. Currently in Thai but there are plans for it to be in English. Supposedly, the content is available at http://www.agb.co.th/ but the RM file wouldn't load for me.

Interesting. Here in NZ we get the Dhammakaya channel on satalite, and a Thai TV channel. Most of the other channels are Christian channels.

I really cannot see an English language channel coming online unless it is also from Wat Dhammakaya. There simply are not enough people in Thailand who can teach/speak about Buddhism in the English language.

I think the idea is to have English subtitles rather than English speakers, but they seem to be strapped for cash as it is.
