MONTREAL, Jan. 14, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - TVA Group welcomes
the decision by the Canadian Radio-television and
Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to approve the addition of
Évasion and Zeste to TVA Group's stable of specialty channels.
TVA Group expects to close the transaction within weeks, as soon as
the conditions of approval have been satisfied.
In spring 2018, TVA Group reached an agreement with Serdy Média
inc. to acquire the two specialty channels. The addition of Évasion
and Zeste will further diversify TVA Group's offering of television
content for viewers and advertisers. TVA Group plans extensive
efforts to increase their reach and grow their audiences on all
content delivery platforms.
Évasion and Zeste join LCN, TVA Sports, addikTV, CASA, MOI ET
CIE, Prise 2 and Yoopa, bringing TVA Group's family of specialty
services to nine channels.
Évasion went on the air in 2000 with a schedule of travel,
tourism, adventure and food discovery programs. Zeste, launched in
2010, is the channel for people who love cooking, fine food and
entertaining in style.
