Fine Living Network Expands Presence Across EMEA

March 8, 2010 World Screen

LONDON: The lifestyle channel Fine Living Network (FLN) will launch on April 1 across more than 60 countries in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

FLN is the latest product from the JV created last year between Scripps Networks Interactive and Chello Zone. The channel will take over part of the distribution footprint created by Zone Club, a women’s lifestyle and entertainment channel that Chello Zone brought to the joint venture. FLN will have distribution in 2.6 million households through the EMEA region. Along with the linear channel, FLN’s website also debuts internationally.

“Fine Living Network signifies another exciting development sprung from the partnership between Scripps Networks and Chello Zone,” said Greg Moyer, the president of Scripps Networks International, the global development arm of Scripps Networks Interactive. “This new channel is sure to become the fun, stylish destination for the best in home, food and fashion television with a broad range of sophisticated programming that viewers are sure to enjoy.”
 
“Fine Living Network is the perfect ‘second act’ following the successful launch of Food Network across EMEA only a few months ago,” added Dermot Shortt, the CEO of Chello Zone.
