Living Asia Channel is a 24-hour Asian travel and lifestyle channel. Launched on June 6, 2004, this channel is owned by CCI Asia Group Corp. and operated and distributed by VEGAS+ (vegasplus.us), a Las Vegas-based broadcast and streaming platform with over 45 million registered viewers primarily in North America and Asia. Its head office is located in Taguig City, Philippines. CCI ASIA GROUP CORPORATION, in partnership with Benpres Holdings, launched the very Travel Channel in the world - LAKBAY TV, on March 19, 1999. After 2 years of successful operations, it launched 2 back to back channels - ISLA: The Advocacy Channel and JUICE TV, a freshly squeezed content for the 20-something! Then finally in 2004, Globecast Telecoms, a wholly owned subsidiary of FRANCE TELECOM, offered CCI ASIA GROUP CORP.
