“These new channels perfectly complement our current offerings, allowing us to provide viewers with a variety of entertainment choices and advertisers with greater reach and cross-channel opportunities.”

Remy Minute, CEO of CSC Media Group, said:  ”CSC has grown from a small bouquet channel operator to become one of the leading multi-channel ad-supported TV  networks in the UK.

“This combination with SPT allows us to accelerate our growth trajectory, both internationally and domestically.  I very much look forward to working with the team at SPT.”
