Nation Group

Nation Multimedia Group Public Company Limited (Nation Group) is the leading news, media, communications and information provider in Thailand. The company was listed on the Thai Stock Exchange in June 1988 and has a registered capital of 2.5 billion baht with a paid-up capital of 1.6 billion baht.

Nation Group is owner of Thailand’s leading independent English-language newspaper, The Nation, the Thai-language daily, Krungthep Turakij and a range of other publications, as well as radio and television programs, and Internet websites.

The business structure of Nation Group consists of eight subsidiary companies: Nation Radio Network Co., Ltd., Nation Information Technology Co., Ltd., Nation Broadcasting Corporation Ltd., Nation Egmont Edutainment Co., Ltd., Nation International Co., Ltd., Nation Edutainment Co., Ltd. and Thai Portal Co., Ltd. In addition, the group has investments in five associated companies; Se-Education Public Co., Ltd., Yomiuri Nation Information Service Ltd., Nation Properties Co., Ltd. and ITV Public Co., Ltd. (held by Nation Broadcasting Corp. Ltd.).

A new subsidiary, fully owned by Nation Group, the Nation Digital Media Co., Ltd., was established to diversify the Group’s Internet related business by consolidating its different websites into one news portal - with the domain name www.nationgroup.com.

Concurrently, this subsidiary is being used to make further investments with new strategic partners in Internet related business opportunities. Most significant are the two joint ventures undertaken by Nation Digital in early 2000. The first is Thai Portal Co., Ltd., the owner and operator of thailand.com, providing worldwide Internet users with comprehensive travel, export, business and news related information; the second was with Singapore Technologies Telemedia (STT) to create stt-nation.com that will provide web hosting services or a data center to local and regional websites.

Together with United Broadcasting Corporation (UBC), Nation Group has recently launched its own 24-hour cable news TV channel, the first ever in Thailand, in both Thai and English language. The channel provides breaking news, in-depth news reporting on politics, the economy, sports and social events from both local and international sources.
