AMC Networks International Southern Europe (AMCNISE) is to launch a new channel in Spain, Selekt, a general-interest pay-TV service.<\/p>\n
Available from the time of its launch and at no additional cost for subscribers to Vodafone TV and Orange TV, Selekt will offer premieres, original productions, exclusive programming and simulcasts across films, series, documentaries, lifestyle, children\u2019s content and music.<\/p>\n
The Selekt schedule will feature programming blocks to suit the viewing habits and preferences of the pay-TV user. From Monday to Friday, Selekt will program two hours of children\u2019s content in the early morning; ten hours of lifestyle programming (cooking, decoration, beauty and health) in the morning and afternoon; three hours of documentaries after lunch; five hours of movies and series in prime time; and four hours of music in the overnight slot.

Manuel Balsera, managing director of AMCNISE, said: \u201cIn today\u2019s dynamic media landscape, where viewers spend more time choosing what to watch, we are launching this new general-interest channel so that they can easily discover and enjoy the best of pay television. We are delighted that Vodafone TV and Orange TV, two of our key partners, are including Selekt in their offering.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ignacio Garc\u00eda-Legaz, director of Vodafone TV, added: \u201cSelekt is the ideal complement to our TV portfolio at a time of high viewing figures and a growing number of offerings. This channel is an opportunity to bolster pay-TV in Spain over free-to-air options, while at the same time delivering content to Vodafone users that might not be part of their subscription package.\u201d<\/p>\n
