CNBC Asia Pacific CEO Alexander Brown added, "CNBC Asia Pacific could not be happier about our strategic alliance with MGM and the success we are having in the marketplace. It is gratifying to see that
the marriage of our two organisations' complementary commercial strengths and creative capabilities have been so well-received in the region."
