Ian McDonough, <\/span>BBC Worldwide’s executive VP for CEMA, noted: "This is terrific news for us, and for viewers. Now, as well as BBC Entertainment and BBC World News, an even wider audience will be able to watch more of our world-class programming. This is yet another big step in our channels portfolio expansion throughout CEMA."<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Esra Ozaral, <\/span>Digiturk’s head of content, added: "As the first and leading digital platform of Turkey, we are glad to present BBC HD and BBC Knowledge to Digiturk subscribers. We constantly renew our content and technological infrastructure according to our subscribers’ expectations. BBC HD and BBC Knowledge will certainly provide added value to our platform. We believe both channels will fill a gap in terms of meeting Digiturk audiences’ expectations. BBC HD broadcasts the best BBC content with Turkish subtitle options for all types of audiences. More than a thematic channel broadcasting a specific program type, BBC HD offers diverse content from movies and TV series to entertainment shows and news, while BBC Knowledge broadcasts high quality cultural shows and documentaries 24 hours a day."<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
