Travel journeys to Freesat

UK free-to-air satellite platform Freesat has added Scripps Networks Interactive’s Travel Channel to its line up. Travel, previously only available on pay-TV with Sky in the UK, joins Scripps’ Food Network UK on free satellite TV in the UK.

Paul Gilshan, director of marketing at Freesat, said Travel would complement Freesat’s existing line-up. The move on to Freesat follows a recent Travel rebrand across all international territories.

Its new schedule draws from Scripps’ lifestyle content library and includes several new series, such as Armed & Ready, Hotel Impossible: After Anthony, Jonathan Phang’s Caribbean Cookbook and Travel Like A President.
