ONREQUEST SIGNS AGREEMENT WITH BVI-TV

DIGITAL pay-per-view service ONrequest have signed a major licensing agreement with Buena Vista International Television (BVI-TV) in a move which will bring to ONrequest consumers an even wider selection of movies.
The agreement with distributors BVI-TV will grant ONrequest DTT pay-per-view broadcast rights for many great movies such as: ‘Scream 3’, ‘The Cider House Rules’, ‘High Fidelity’, ‘Gone In 60 Seconds’, ‘Shanghai Noon’, ‘Coyote Ugly’, ‘Unbreakable’ and ‘Scary Movie’.
Charles Andrew, Managing Director of ONrequest, said: "We are delighted to have reached an agreement with BVI-TV, who are consistently among the top performing Hollywood studios. Our customers can now enjoy even more great movies."
Doug Miller, Vice President and Managing Director of Sales at BVI-TV, said: "Pay-per-view gives viewers the opportunity to watch what they like, when they like - now more than ever before the viewer is truly king. In such an environment, premium high quality entertainment is key and I am pleased that ONrequest will now be able to offer these films to their viewers."
Since the launch in May of last year, ONrequest, a joint venture between ONdigital and SDN, has become an established part of the DTT platform, achieving almost universal awareness and recording excellent order performance.
ONrequest launched with two major Hollywood studios Universal and Paramount and, since then, have secured supply contracts with Fox, MGM, Pathe, and now BVI-TV.
ONrequest have also introduced pay-per-view football and major music events including ‘The Who’ at the Royal Albert Hall. (CD)
