Samsung provides Insight in US

Insight TV’s Road to Gymkhana Grid

Dutch ultra-high-definition (UHD) broadcaster Insight TV is to make its linear channel available in the US after striking a deal with electronics firm Samsung.

The agreement will make Insight’s service available on Samsung’s TV Plus linear streaming service, allowing viewers to watch hundreds of hours of content including shows such as Travel with a Goat and Road to Gymkhana Grid.

The deal means Insight TV’s channel will reach 10 million US connected smart TVs and comes after the company’s network was launched in Germany last year.

Graeme Stanley, commercial director of Insight TV, described the deal as a “great step forward in us broadening our content reach and growing new audiences.”

Insight TV has been expanding its offering over the past 12 months, ordering a second season of reality show Thru as well as an urban exploration show, a series about big-wave surfers and filming one of the world’s toughest motor endurance races.
