Fine Living Network, Zone Reality Expand Footprint

LONDON: Chello Zone has secured further carriage for Fine Living Network and Zone Reality, which have now launched into Portuguese-speaking Africa on the MultiChoice platform.

Through MultiChoice, the channels are available in English with Portuguese subtitles in Angola and Mozambique. Fine Living Network is a joint venture between Scripps Networks Interactive and Chello Media. Zone Reality is already available to English-speaking Africa on MultiChoice’s DStv service.

“Fine Living Network is the home of top quality lifestyle programming from around the world and we are thrilled to bring it to the Portuguese-speaking audience in Africa,” said Nick Thorogood, the managing director of Food Network and Fine Living Network for EMEA.

Louise Cottrell, the VP of affiliate sales for Zone Reality, added, “Zone Reality is already well established in the territory, with close to three million subscribers, so the launch into Portuguese-speaking Africa is a great continuation of the channel’s expansion across Africa.”
