June 21, 2019 06.59 Europe/London By Robert Briel

Insight TV, the world’s leading 4K UHD HDR broadcaster and producer of native UHD content, has announced a distribution deal which will see the Canadian launch of Insight TV’s 4K UHD feed on Telus Optik TV.

Insight TV is distributed in Canada by Ethnic Channels Group Ltd (ECG). TelusTELUS, one of Canada’s largest telecommunications companies, provides TV services in the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Quebec.

This deal expands Insight TV’s North American reach significantly, making its high-energy, thought-provoking programs, such as the recently-added original series Travel With a Goat, Road to Gymkhana GRiD, Droners, King of the Hammers, Thru, Breaking Limits and more.

“With our reach across North America growing quickly, this deal expands our footprint even farther to bring our valuable, high-quality content over a million more viewers,” commented Mark Romano, Vice President Americas, Insight TV.

“We are committed to working with distribution partners like Telus to provide their customers with the most engaging 4K UHD content found anywhere in the world. Services like Telus Optik TV are setting a new industry standard by providing the highest quality customer experience available today.”

“ECG is thrilled to partner with Insight TV to bring this high-octane content to Canadians. There has been a gap in this market for this type of 4K adventure programming, which we are sure this channel will fill,” said Slava Levin Co-founder and CEO of ECG.
