New Scandinavian Carriage for VOOM HD

NEW YORK, December 12: NonStop Television, which distributes
Rainbow Media Holdings’ VOOM HD channel, has secured carriage for the network
on Swedish platform Com Hem.

The deal brings the high-definition lifestyle network to a
further 1.75 million homes. VOOM HD recently launched in the region on
Scandinavia’s Canal Digital and Estonia’s Elion. The channel offers up content
from VOOM HD Networks’ 15 thematic HD channels in the U.S.

"When we announced the availability of our VOOM HD
channel just under two months ago, we had recognized and were responding to the
growing need for such an offering the world over,” said Glenn Oakley, Rainbow’s
SVP of business development. “Com Hem’s HD package launch is indicative of how
digital cable carriers are also responding to the growth and demand for HD
programming, and we look forward to being a part of their efforts."
