SPI International/FilmBox has signed a distribution deal with Salt Mobile that sees the Swiss telecommunications provider set to broadcast four thematic channels from the company’s portfolio.

FunBox UHD, Fast&FunBox HD, Gametoon HD—the esports channel aimed at millennials—and FightBox HD, which broadcasts live events every week such as KOK World Series, RXF MMA Championship and MFC Makowski Fighting Championship, will launch in Switzerland in June on Salt TV. FightBox HD, Gametoon HD and Fast&FunBox HD will be available in English, while FunBox UHD will be available in English and German.

“SPI continues to invest and expand its reach in Western Europe,” said Georgina Twiss, managing director for Western Europe and Africa at SPI International. “Today, I am proud to announce our new agreement with Salt. As of June, four thematic channels will be available in Switzerland for Salt’s subscribers, with its young and dynamic target audience I am sure that they will all hit the mark.”
