Eurochannel launches in Switzerland

April 18, 2016 08.22 Europe/London By Jörn Krieger

EurochannelEurochannel, the TV channel dedicated to European movies, series, documentaries and music, has launched in Switzerland on the TV platform operated by net+.

The telco serving French-speaking Switzerland distributes the pay-TV service in HD quality on channel 86.

Eurochannel offers multicultural programming from European countries in the original language version with subtitles. 95% of the content has never been shown in Switzerland before.

“We are thrilled to start offering Eurochannel to Swiss viewers. We did notice they were eager to watch European programmes, especially movies from countries you rarely see on television,” said Gustavo Vainstein, Eurochannel’s chairman and CEO. “It reinforces our relationship with Switzerland to which we have dedicated a special month to introduce the country’s excellent audiovisual production with the support of Présence Suisse.”

Eurochannel is available in 10 language versions including English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Serbian and Korean, reaching more than 22 million households.
