AETN UK Grows Presence in Benelux

NEW YORK/LONDON: Two new Dutch-language deals have been secured by AETN UK to launch HISTORY and HISTORY HD onto additional platforms in Benelux.

In the Netherlands, both the high-definition and standard-definition services for HISTORY are now carried on CanalDigitaal, while Delta Kabelcomfort offers the service in the Zeeland province of the Netherlands. In Belgium, HISTORY and HISTORY HD are already available from TV Vlaanderen.

HISTORY features award-winning programming that covers a variety of topics, including ancient history, contemporary history, military history and conflict, and technology and transport. HISTORY HD offers a separate schedule from the standard-definition service with programs such as Ax Men, Life After People and World War II. In the past two years, HISTORY and HISTORY HD have launched on 12 platforms in the region.

Christina Foley, the commercial director of AETN UK, said, “We are delighted to add two more operators to our distribution in the Benelux. HISTORY and HISTORY HD programming offer the highest quality production value together with a wide range of historical topics. I have no doubt that the channels will appeal to CanalDigitaal and Delta Kabelcomfort customers.”
