US teleshopping broadcaster ShopLC will launch a spin-off service for viewers in Germany and Austria on July 1, 2021.
The channel will be available to DTH satellite households via Astra (19.2° East) on transponder 115 (12,663 GHz H, SR 22,000, FEC 5/6). ShopLC will take over the slot of women’s channel Sixx Austria, which is moving to another frequency.
The uplink is located at ORF’s technical subsidiary ORS in Vienna. Cable distribution is also planned.
ShopLC is operated by international group Vaibhav Global, which sells jewellery and lifestyle products worldwide, mostly from its own production. In the UK, the company is already present with teleshopping channel TJC.
[UPDATE July 1, 2021] For cable distribution, ShopLC has signed a framework agreement with German industry association DNMG which serves more than 200 network operators.
