AETN UK has gained additional carriage in the Benelux market for its Dutch languaged versions of History and History HD.
Both channels are now available through the DTH satellite operator Canal Digitaal and its Flemish sister company TV Vlaanderen. As previously reported in Broadband TV News the channels can also be found on Delta Kabelcomfort in the Dutch province of Zeeland.
“History and History HD programming offer the highest quality production value together with a wide range of historical topics. I have no doubt that the channels will appeal to Canal Digitaal and Delta Kabelcomfort customers,” said Christina Foley, commercial director, AETN UK.
Over the past two years two channels have launched on a total of 12 platforms in the region.
