NBCU Launches Dutch VOD Services

LONDON: Programming from NBC Universal’s SCI FI and 13th Street is now available on demand on Ziggo in the Netherlands.

SCI FI On Demand will offer hit series such as Doctor Who, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Strange and Torchwood. The on-demand offerings from 13th Street include Dexter, Flashpoint, The Wire and the British detective series Vincent. Digital TV is now available to more than 58 percent, or 4.2 million, of Dutch households, and NBCU is currently in discussion with other platforms to extend their on-demand service in the region.

John Burnett, the managing director for Benelux at NBC Universal, said, “We look forward to broadening the viewing experience by giving our existing SCI FI and 13th Street subscribers the flexibility to watch our new on-demand service, enabling them to watch exactly what they want, when they want.”
