December 9, 2013 09.55 Europe/London By Robert Briel

CI_Crime_Investigation_Network_LogoA+E Networks has established A+E Networks Italy, a Rome-based company to launch and operate branded channels and services in Italy.

A+E Networks Italy will launch Crime + Investigation (CI) on Sky Italia on December 16, and is working with its current partner, Fox International Channels (FIC), to assume full ownership of History Italy in early 2014.

“The formation of A+E Networks Italy marks an important milestone for A+E Networks as it is our first wholly owned operation in Europe,” said Nancy Dubuc, president and CEO, A+E Networks. “We are committed to continued international expansion of our brands and business, and we are excited about growth opportunities throughout Italy and all of Europe.”

“We are very excited for the launch of CI, which is available exclusively to Sky subscribers. We look forward to building a successful relationship with A+E Networks, whom we consider to be one of our key partners, to develop better and stronger content for our service,” said Andrea Scrosati EVP, programming of Sky Italia.

“CI further strengthens Sky Italia’s exclusive channel line-up, making our basic offer the most comprehensive in the Italian market.”

Sean Cohan, EVP, International, A+E Networks added, “History is a leading factual brand in Italy, and we are delighted to broaden our partnership with SKY Italia through the launch of CI, Italy’s first factual crime channel. We look forward to growing the full A+E Networks’ channel portfolio in Italy.”

A+E Networks will make announcements on management appointments for A+E Networks Italy in the coming months.
