SEOUL, Aug. 8, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is advancing LG Channels viewership growth across the world, thanks to its intuitive user interface and growing variety of content. As part of this effort, LG is partnering with leading broadcasters and news organizations across multiple regions to add more news streams to the platform, making them both relevant to local audiences and easier to access and explore.
Starting this month, LG Channels news content can also be accessed directly from the home screen via newly introduced News Portal. Rolled out via Q-Card in the U.S., Mexico, Brazil, the U.K. and Germany on TVs running webOS 25, this feature is expected to expand to more platforms later this year – supporting further news consumption growth, thanks to the company’s free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) service.
In the U.S., LG Smart TV users can access a wide array of news channels through LG Channels News Hub, a curated source for free, ad-supported news channels. The News Hub is made possible through partnerships with multiple leading national and local broadcasters whose channels are available in the News Hub, including NBCUniversal, Disney, FOX Television Stations, Bloomberg Media, Warner Bros. Discovery, Allen Media Group’s Local Now, E.W. Scripps, Sinclair Broadcast Group and others. In addition, users can still access news channels through the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) on their LG Smart TVs.
LG Channels also provides localized content from Local Now channels, Allen Media Group’s free news streaming service, which delivers over 220 local channels in every U.S. ZIP code.
Expanding its offerings for Spanish-speaking viewers, LG collaborated with NBCUniversal News Group earlier this year to introduce Telemundo Station Group’s 24/7 streaming news channels. These channels – Telemundo Noticias California, Telemundo Noticias Texas, Telemundo Noticias Florida and Telemundo Noticias Noreste – deliver regional news coverage.
These partnerships have been a key driver of the double-digit linear growth the LG Channels service has seen in the U.S., year-over-year. LG’s efforts to strengthen regional news access through LG Channels were recognized in June 2025 with the Award for Achievement in Local Broadcasting at the ITVT/TVOT 21st Annual Awards for Leadership in Interactive and Multiplatform Television. This honor underscores the company’s commitment to advancing news content delivery through partnerships with trusted local broadcasters.
“Our goal with LG Channels has always been to make high-quality, relevant content accessible to everyone,” said Chris Jo, head of the webOS Platform Business Center at the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “By working with trusted news providers and powerful broadcasters across regions and continuously improving how users discover and access content, we are making local and national news more approachable, timely and meaningful within everyday viewing.”
LG Channels viewing time has increased in Mexico and Brazil as local news content becomes more available. In Mexico, major local broadcasters TV Azteca, Multimedios and Grupo Imagen joined LG Channels this year, strengthening its local news lineup. TV Azteca’s FIA has emerged as the most-watched channel among the 190 channels available on LG Channels in Mexico, underscoring strong demand for quality local news.

LG’s exhibition highlights the company’s liquid server cooling solutions featuring D2C technology; a remarkable innovation that applies cooling directly to the servers’ chips. Leveraging the company’s high-efficiency inverter pump and heat exchanger, the LG Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) controls coolant temperature and flow to improve energy efficiency and reduce electricity consumption. Thanks to its compact size and modular design, LG’s CDU provides installation flexibility, enabling a variety of configurations consisting of up to eight units. The CDU has a 10.4-inch touch screen that offers convenient control and supports easy maintenance. Equipped with the company’s fully redundant sensor system, which features both physical and virtual sensor technology, the CDU ensures continuous operation through the provision of backup operation and sensor-fault prediction diagnosis. Furthermore, the CDU uses LG’s Active Load Sharing technology to track the optimal efficiency point for each load, thus elevating overall system efficiency.
Another LG innovation being introduced at this year’s DCW is the Cold Plate: a liquid cooling solution designed to be directly applied to the high-powered chips used in AI data servers. The solution is able to manage the high thermal design power (TDP) of these next-generation chips thanks to the low thermal resistance of its advanced design. The LG Cold Plate utilizes a manifold with a parallel coolant supply structure to deliver upgraded cooling performance. The company’s impressive solution also employs a bottom-mounted Skived Fin to maximize the heat exchange area and boasts a “two-way” configuration that optimizes the coolant flow path. Moreover, the Cold Plate can be customized according to site- and usage-specific requirements through an AI-powered optimization process that includes a state-of-the-art performance simulator. To minimize the risk of coolant-liquid leakage, LG uses brazing to create the strongest possible bond between key elements, and also subjects each Cold Plate produced to a “threefold” leak inspection.

Used in a variety of industries and known for their powerful cooling capabilities, chillers have emerged as important infrastructure components for AI data centers. LG’s Water-Cooled Oil-Free Centrifugal Chiller provides exceptional energy efficiency via a lubricant-free structure and LG’s proprietary magnetic bearing technology, LeviTech. These innovations, along with a machine learning-based feature that protects against chiller surges, help to reduce energy loss, improve operational reliability, and facilitate fast recovery from unexpected power outages. Designed with sustainability in mind, LG’s water-cooled oil free inverter centrifugal chiller use refrigerants with a low Global Warming Potential.
Available in both inverter screw and oil-free centrifugal types, LG’s Air-Cooled Chiller (ACC) incorporates high-quality core components, such as the company’s inverter screw compressor, to set new standards for performance and efficiency. Enhancing both cooling capability and system dependability, the innovative “free-cooling” mode allows the ACC to switch seamlessly between mechanical cooling (with the refrigerant cycle) and free cooling (without the refrigerant cycle). LG’s next-gen ACC also has a backup cycle that prevents interruptions to operation, and comes equipped with a three-stage oil recovery system that further boosts reliability and safety.
A solution that pairs perfectly with the ACC, LG’s Computer Room Air Handler (CRAH) utilizes electronically commutated (EC) fans and oval coils to minimize electricity usage. The fans use high-efficiency 3D blades along with EC motors that leverage power factor correction to reduce total harmonic distortion in the current. In addition, the CRAH has a compact, modular fan wall unit structure that makes installation and maintenance more convenient, saving customers time and cost. To drive the development of future cooling solutions, the recently established LG HVAC Solution Lab has created a sophisticated testbed that can accurately simulate various usage scenarios and environmental conditions.
Integrated Energy Management Control for Diverse Cooling Solutions
LG’s data center cooling solutions, from chiller plants to D2C and room cooling systems, can all be easily controlled through the BECON system. A single, unified solution for managing and monitoring server cooling and chiller systems, BECON can intelligently coordinate each connected cooling solution to achieve and maintain the required temperature and level of humidity. The BECON solution, which can be applied to multiple interfaces within a facility, can also carry out data analysis to maximize the energy efficiency of LG’s cooling solutions, helping reduce the financial burden of the round-the-clock cooling operation that data centers need.
“The exceptional LG thermal management solutions on show at Data Center World 2025 leverage our latest AI technologies and the considerable insight gained from our partnerships with AI data centers worldwide,” said James Lee, president of the LG ES Company. “As a leading provider of innovative HVAC solutions, LG will continue pushing forward to deliver efficient cooling infrastructure for North America’s fast-growing AI data center market.”
LG invites DCW attendees to experience its latest AI data center cooling solutions at booth #633 in the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.
