TV5MONDE to Distribute Programming Through ClearVISION

LOS ANGELES: The French-language entertainment network TV5MONDE USA is now distributing 16 travel, food and lifestyle shows via ClearVISION’s digital television network, which is meant for airports in major U.S. markets.

Titles being broadcast include Fine Foods (Epicerie Fine), Eco-home (Echo-logis), Custom Made (Sur Mesures), Villages in France (Villages de France), Travel Diaries (Carnets de Voyage) and Dream Hotels (Rêves d’Hotels). ClearVISION is currently offered at airports in Raleigh-Durham, New Orleans and Dallas. The television channel will begin airing in other parts of the country later in the year.

"We are broadcasters in the away-from-home spectrum operating a program day that is scheduled hour by hour, minute by minute," noted David Tetreault, the COO at ClearVision. "We program many unique channels similarly to a TV station or cable MSO—partnering with TV5Monde USA provides us with rich and dynamic programming content that adds superior international flare to our broadcasts."
