travel channel extends broadcast time

THE TRAVEL Channel, sister operation to television agency Travel Deals Direct, has increased its transmission time to 18 hours a day.

The channel, which previously broadcast on Sky Digital for only five hours each day, has launched a number of new programmes to fill in the additional broadcast time.

In addition, the company has joined up with the Egyptian Tourist Board to promote Egypt. The board will sponsor eight programmes that will focus on Egypt and is to advertise on both Travel deals Direct and the Travel Channel.
