Food Network In Greece Broadcast Deal

Global lifestyle and culinary channel Food Network has signed a deal to broadcast in Greece for the first time.
The Scripps Networks channel can now be watched on the country's Hellas Online (HOL) IPTV network.
The launch follows the recent announcement that Food Network and Fine Living are now available in Norway on the cable platform Canal Digital Kabel TV.
"This deal is another key milestone in Scripps’ strategy to expand the European footprint of our unique lifestyle channels," said Jon Sichel, Managing Director of Scripps EMEA.
"Hellas Online is the perfect partner for us to make the strong, quality programming Food Network offers available to Greek viewers."
Food Network is now a globally recognised brand, which broadcasts gastronomic programmes across the world.
Hellas Online subscribers will now be able to enjoy Food Network stalwarts such as Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Ina Garten's Barefoot Contessa and Unique Sweets. New titles Food Wars and Jonathan Phang’s Carribean Cookbook will also be available.
The deal was brokered by Chello Zone, Food Network EMEA’s distribution partner.
