Chevy Chase, Maryland, June 4, 2008 - Travel Channel Media announced today the launch of its HD VOD service to consumers across the country, and named TVN® Entertainment as its exclusive HD VOD services provider. Travel Channel will offer consumers HD VOD content from top series such as ANTHONY BOURDAIN NO RESERVATIONS, BIZARRE FOODS WITH ANDREW ZIMMERN, and SAMANTHA BROWN’S PASSPORT SERIES, as well as sneak peeks and premieres of both new and returning series.

“Since launching our HD simulcast at the beginning of the year, we have made great strides in increasing the distribution for Travel Channel HD,” said Patrick Younge, president and general manager of Travel Channel. “As we continue raising the visibility of our HD offerings, we must focus on the increasingly fluid viewing habits of today’s consumer. Through our agreement with TVN, we can now offer our distribution partners our most compelling content in the HD VOD space, while providing their customers with increased HD content and the flexibility they desire.”

“Operators are making a huge push into HD VOD this year, and we look forward to supporting Travel Channel’s efforts to distribute their high quality HD content, as well as their significant library of SD content, to the 40 million subscribers we serve across North America,” said Matt Cohen, senior vice president of strategy and business development for TVN Entertainment. “As our affiliates ramp up advanced services like HD VOD and increasingly time-sensitive programming, we continue to work closely with our content partners to meet these needs and optimize the VOD platform.”
