From Cable To Satellite-Discovery/Bravo

From Cable To Satellite-Discovery/Bravo

Two United Artists stations ‘Discovery’ and ‘Bravo’ will move from cable to satellite this week – increasing their potential audience by 3m households. The launch is backed by a £1.75m advertising campaign aimed at satellite dish owners.

Discovery currently claims that 46% of its audience is made up of ABC1s – a proportionately higher percentage than the 36% profile of Astra as a whole; Astra also has a heavier male bias. UA believes that Astra will help the channel develop a young adults audience, in its bid to make Discovery a ‘global brand’.
