Travel Channel extends to Freesat
April 3, 2013 09.48 Europe/London By Julian Clover

Travel Channel is to launch on the Freesat platform, adding several million more households to the 10.3 million subscribers on Sky.

Travel Channel, now a part of Scripps Networks Interactive, will be available to watch on Freesat’s Channel 405.

“We are very pleased to further expand the distribution of Travel Channel in the UK,” said Jon Sichel, Managing Director of Scripps EMEA. “This announcement is a testament to Travel Channel’s popularity among viewers, and we look forward to working with Freesat to enable even more UK households to enjoy the quality programming available on Travel Channel.”

Last month Freesat reported it had broken the three million receiver sales, as opposed to households, mark.

Paul Gilshan, director of marketing, Freesat said: “We’re delighted Travel Channel is joining Freesat. It is a hugely popular service with a strong following that strengthens and complements Freesat’s existing line-up. With Travel Channel joining today, the breadth of choice for our viewers, for free, has never been better.”

Travel Channel recently announced a comprehensive brand refresh across all international territories in the channel’s most radical overhaul in its history.
