BBC First, which Vivacom described as a Bulgarian premiere channel, is now available to customers taking the EON Premium package on channel position 63. The service brings a slate of British drama and crime titles including Death in Paradise, Beyond Paradise, Sister Boniface Mysteries and The Tourist.
BBC Earth has also joined the platform and is available to EON Full and EON Premium customers on channel position 313. The channel’s line-up includes landmark factual programming such as Planet Earth and Blue Planet.
