ZONE VISION BRINGS REALITY TV TO HUNGARY

ZONE Vision, the London-based thematic channel producers and distributors, have further expanded the reach of their popular Reality TV channel into Hungary signing a deal with MatavkabelTV Kft.
MatavkabelTV Kft, Hungary’s second largest cable operators with 220,000 subscribers, launched Reality TV on January 1 2002 in their basic package to an initial 91,000 subscribers.
This is a significant deal for Zone Vision as it extends the coverage of Reality TV to every key operator in Hungary. Over 700,000 homes in the territory will be able to receive the exciting, action-packed, adrenaline-pumped programming that combines hard-hitting, real-life drama with a close-up look at the work of police, firefighters, emergency room medics and rescue teams. Alongside the action viewers will find intelligent, probing documentaries and fun-filled looks at weird people, strange places and unsolved mysteries.
The popularity of the channel has increased rapidly since it was first launched across Europe in December 1999 on DTH and cable networks. Reality TV now boasts a subscribership of around seven million across three continents in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. It is currently available in over 95 territories in 13 language versions and there are plans to roll it out in a number of further territories including Latin America and Asia. The channel is also complemented by a web site www.reality-channel.tv (CD)
