BabyFirst, the baby/toddler/parent-targeted 24/7 commercial free channel, makes its way to Taiwan where it premieres on IPTV provider Chunghwa. The feed comes from Telstar 10 satellite and will carry audio feeds in both Mandarin and English. Elsewhere in Asia, BabyFirst recently bowed in Korea, also via IPTV.
