Family Channel Launching In Pay Deal

Family Channel Launching In Pay Deal

A spokeswoman at BSkyB confirmed to MediaTel this morning that The Family Channel is to launch later this year as part of the satellite company’s mini-pay package.

The package already contains Sky One, Sky News, The Children’s Channel, Nickelodeon, Discovery and Bravo. It is believed that BSkyB is in discussion with MTV and UK Gold to join the team. A price for the package has yet to be finalised.

BSkyB is predicting that it will lose less that 300,000 viewers and increase revenue by £12m a month when encryption goes ahead at the end of the year.
