Hans-Holger Albrecht, President and CEO of MTG, commented: “The launch of Viasat OnDemand is in line with our strategy of offering customers our content and channels on a flexible ‘Anytime, Anywhere’ basis – i.e. independent of time and location. Broadband enabled viewers will be able to watch what they want, when they want, and where they want.”

“It follows the successful launch of www.viasatsport.com, and creates a single point of access where customers can easily purchase streamed content. Viasat OnDemand will not only complement Viasat’s other forms of content distribution, but also create additional revenue streams from our broad portfolio of online broadcasting rights.”
