M7 Group has concluded satellite capacity agreements with two new channels for distribution via Skylink, the DTH platform on Aastra 23.5 East for Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Klenot TV, launching on September 1, is owned by Budapest-based Emporia Style Kft. Klenot TV is a new free-to-air shopping channel in the Czech language and dedicated to jewelry and cosmetics, featuring over twelve hours live shows per day. Emporia www.klenottv.cz
Hobby TV, owned by Prague-based S&P Broadcasting, started earlier this summer. HOBBY TV is a lifestyle television channel for the Czech and Slovak market focused on hobby, architecture, interior design and garden. S&P also owns cooking channel Mnam TV, already broadcasting via Skylink.
For both Klenot TV and Hobby TV, Skylink’s extensive TV household reach in Czech Republic and Slovakia was the key driver for selecting M7 as its satellite broadcasting partner. Both channels have dedicated positions in the Electronic Programme Guide of Skylink, allowing subscribers to easily find the channel among its broad programming offering.
