Distribution
for 成人论坛 World tops 200 million
成人论坛
World, the 成人论坛's 24-hour international news and information channel,
today announced that following a number of recent distribution agreements
the channel is now available in over 200 million homes worldwide
- a substantial increase in its global reach. The figure represents
a 16% growth in distribution for the channel year on year for total
households.
"This
time last year we were in 173 million households worldwide and now
we can boast over 200 million, 90 million of which receive the channel
24 hours a day," explained Jeff Hazell, Director of Sales &
Distribution, 成人论坛 World. "This is a reflection of the ever
increasing global demand for 成人论坛 World, particularly in the US in
recent months."
This
impressive growth is in part attributable to 成人论坛 World's existing
arrangement in the US with public television provider, WLIW. In
January 成人论坛 World announced that as a result of new agreements with
PBS networks across the country, the channel is now available in
80% of US television households. This, combined with a number of
agreements in other countries in Europe, the Middle East and Latin
America, has resulted in 成人论坛 World now being available to its biggest
audience ever.
"Distribution
successes like this are the backbone of the channel's development
making 成人论坛 World an even more attractive proposition for advertisers
to reach global audiences. Since 1995 we have experienced considerable
growth and hitting the 200 million homes mark so early in 2002 is
fantastic illustrating the increasing demand for accurate, in-depth
and relevant international news."added Patrick Cross, Managing
Director, 成人论坛 World.
