ZONE VISION CONTINUES REALITY TV ROLL OUT

ZONE Vision, the London-based thematic channel producer and distributor, have negotiated the carriage of their Reality TV channel, co-owed with UPCtv, in Africa on Multichoice platforms.
Launching this month, Reality TV will broadcast 18 hours per day English language reality programming in additional 46 territories from Angola to Zimbabwe.
Reality TV is now available in 89 countries in Europe as well as in Africa and the Middle East with further plans to roll out that channel in 2001 across Latin America and Asia.
President and CEO of Zone Vision, Chris Wronski, said: “It is fantastic that Reality TV have achieved such high levels of success in the first 12 months and we are delighted to announce a deal to broadcast the channel in Africa on Multichoice. In addition we have signed a slate of highly-rating BBC shows to ensure that Reality TV continues to show a compelling mix of real-life programming. We will continue the worldwide expansion of the channel in 2001.”
Zone Vision have also concluded their third major deal with BBC Worldwide for the rights to screen ratings winning human interest hits such as ‘Hotel’, ‘Driving School’ and ‘The Clampers’ on Reality TV. These shows will make up part of Reality TV’s January schedule.
