Belgian DTH platform TV Vlaanderen has added the kids channel VTMKzoom to its line-up. At the same time, it has extended the airtime given to the ‘quality series’ channel Acht (8)
The two channels are available as a channel share. Thanks to a reshuffling of the transponder capacity, the platform can now accomodate VTMKzoom, while Acht is available for more hours during prime time and overnight, with business news channel Kanaal Z taking the daytime slots.
With the addition of the kids channel, TV Vlaanderen offers all the national Dutch language Belgian broadcasters, both commercial and public.
