Trace Sport and Trace Urban have launched on the Turkish DTH platform Turksat.
The two channels are part of Türksat’s Ust Paket package, and are respectively available in HD and SD.
This is Trace Sports’s first launch in Turkey. It coincides with the launch of a Turkish-language version of the channel, its 13th language to date.
Türksat is the second Turkish operator to distribute Trace Urban after TT NET (Turk Telecom), which picked up the channel in 2009.
“We are pleased to launch Trace Urban in SD and Trace Sports in HD, and to introduce a Turkish – language version of the first channel dedicated to sports celebrities on the Turksat network – one of the most dynamic operators in Turkey.,” said Laurent Dumeau, CEO of Trace Sports and VP Distribution for Trace channels.
“Given the rapid increase in pay-TV subscribers, Turkey is a top-priority market for TRACE in Europe.”
