Delta Kabelcomfort, Holland’s third largest cable operator serving the province of Zeeland, will launch a bouquet of HD channels on July 1.
The HD offer will cost €9.95 a month and include MyZenTV HD, Eurosport HD, Discovery HD, National Geographic HD, MTV HD, History HD and soon Animal Planet HD. The three public Dutch channels will probably be part of the basic digital tier.
Delta is also adding a number of new channels to its digital line-up: Nick Toons, Comedy Central Family, Jim Jam, Be Be TV, MGM Moviechannel, Sci Fi Channel, 13th Street, Slam!TV, Lite TV and History.
Distribution of MTV Dance, MTV Hits and Wine TV will cease.
