Sky Launches Exclusive New Entertainment Channel

A New Vibe In Entertainment Programming…

SKY Television confirmed today the launch of a new 24 hour entertainment channel, VIBE, starting Monday 1 October, 2007. VIBE is a pure entertainment offering skewed predominantly to female subscribers. The new channel will be packed with popular primetime series, many of them airing on SKY for the first time. VIBE is exclusive to New Zealand and will be available to all SKY Digital subscribers as part of SKY Television’s Start Up package on Digital Channel Number 7.

“SKY has a varied and balanced bouquet of digital channels and VIBE is the perfect compliment to these”, said SKY Television’s Director of Entertainment Programming, Travis Dunbar. “We definitely see the new channel as an entertaining and compelling addition to the service.”

The launch schedule will include a selection of hit drama and comedy series, plus compelling one-hour documentaries and high-concept reality shows. International hits such as the UK’s leading supernatural investigation series, Most Haunted, will flesh out the schedule, along with exclusive NZ premieres like Make Me A Supermodel with Rachel Hunter and Tori Spelling’s Tori & Dean: Inn Love.
