Home & Away Renewed in Estonia

SYDNEY: AS Kanal 2 in Estonia has struck a deal with Southern Star International for a further five seasons, totaling 1,150 half-hours, of Home & Away.

Now in its 21st year, Home & Away airs in the U.K. twice daily on Five and three times a day on Fiver. It also airs daily on both RTE 1 and RTE 2 in Ireland. In New Zealand, Home & Away has been a success in the 18-to-39 demographic for TV3. The show is also a strong performer on VTM in Belgium.

Produced by Seven Network Australia, Home & Away focuses on the community in a fictitious beachside town filled with love triangles and family feuds.

Kai Gahler, the acquisitions executive at AS Kanal 2, said: “Home & Away is the longest-running acquired series in Estonia. It has had stable ratings and loyal viewers over the years and therefore, proven to be a reliable program to lead in the prime-time slot.”
