Thai Rath prepares to spend upto Bt5 billion for the bidding for a digital TV license.

 
Watchara Vatcharapol, chief executive officer of Triple V Broadcast which operates Thai Rath TV, said that the company intends to join the bidding for three licenses - for the high-definition, variety and news channels.
He said that the group aims to win only one license, but it bought the three bid document sets due to unclear network fee structure. 
Its channel will be named "Thai Rath TV", he said, adding this will be a major turning point of Thai Rath Group, a long-time media company.
