Travel Channel HD expands reach

Singapore — GlobeCast and Travel Channel International have announced the distribution of Travel Channel HD via the MEASAT-3 platform to homes across the Asia Pacific. Travel Channel HD is an expansion of its linear service, also delivered via the MEASAT-3 satellite.

Gerry Ritchie, Director of Business Development at Travel Channel, said, “We are close to inking further deals across the region. India, where Travel Channel has just received downlinking permission, is a particular target for our HD channel".

Travel Channel now has significant HDTV broadcast capabilities in the Asian neighbourhood, reaching all key HD Pay-TV platforms in the region, alongside GlobeCast's other clients on MEASAT-3, such as TV5 Monde, Fashion One HD and National Geographic Channel HD.
