Viasat 4 will feature a broad range of content including news produced by P4 Radio, documentaries, series, movies and premium sports including Formula One racing and UEFA Champions League football. As in Sweden, ZTV will be refocused as a youth oriented internet TV channel.

Hans-Holger Albrecht, President and CEO of MTG, commented: “The launch of Viasat 4 follows the successful launch of TV6 in Sweden in May 2006, Viasat 4 aims to replicate the rapid penetration growth and increased commercial share of viewing generated by TV6 in Sweden. The launch of the new channel is another step in our multichannel strategy and builds further on the success of TV3 Norway.”
