The Scripps Networks International channels Food Network and Fine Living will be made available on the MMDS service operated by M7 Group in Hungary from September 1.
Both have been offered by M7-owned DTH platforms in the Netherlands, Belgium, Slovakia and the Czech Republic since June.
The platforms also carry Travel Channel in HD.
M7’s MMDS Hungarian MMDS service will now become the first platform in the country to offer all three Scripps channels.
Commenting on the development, Jon Sichel, MD, Scripps Networks UK & EMEA, said: “Following the successful launch of Food Network and Fine Living by the M7 Group across a number of Western European markets earlier this year, we are thrilled to be expanding our partnership, introducing all of our EMEA channels to Hungary. Joining Travel Channel, viewers in Hungary will soon be able to enjoy the full range of our quality programming across each of the categories that we specialise in: home, food and travel.”
Marco Visser, CEO M7 Group said: “By adding Food Network and Fine Living to our Hungarian MMDS channel line-up, we are continuing to exceed the ever-growing demand of quality programming expected by our customers. We are very happy to work with a leading company like Scripps Networks and we are looking forward to expanding our cooperation with them.”
