“With the launch of Travelxp HD we are meeting subscriber demand for a channel that is fully dedicated to the world of travel. The channel has already proven its added value in other parts of the world and we look forward to a fruitful cooperation in our various European markets”, says Bill Wijdeveld, VP Business Development of M7 Group.
Edwin Teerink, CEO, YonMedia, representing Travelxp in Benelux, further added “We’re thrilled and proud that we will launch Travelxp HD on the platforms of the M7 group in the Netherlands and Belgium. By offering a programming purely targeted to travel and travelers, the channel brings an additional value with this unique format to the current offer in both countries”
In addition to being distributed via satellite and IPTV, the channel will also be available via the various M7 Live TV apps, allowing for the viewing of Travelxp HD via multiple mobile devices.
As part of the new agreement, M7 Platform Services will arrange for the technical delivery of Travelxp HD to third-party operators within the Europe-wide Astra 23.5 degrees East footprint coverage.
