Scripps shows Fine Living to Hungary

Scripps Networks International is expanding the distribution of its Food Network and Fine Living channels in Hungary with launches on M7 Group’s MMDS platform.

The two channels will be rolled out on September 1 and means M7, which already offers Travel Channel as part of its MMDS line-up, will become the first operator to carry all three Scripps-owned channels in Hungary.

The move follows the launch of Fine Living and Food Network on M7-owned satellite platforms in the Netherlands, Belgium, Slovakia and Czech Republic in June.

Food Network will continue to mix original commissions from its UK base, such as Andy Bates’ Brazilian Street Feasts, with big-name series from its US parent.

Fine Living will offer Hungarian audiences a mix of living and design series including Million Dollar Room and My Yard Goes Disney.
