The National Cable Television Cooperative will offer to its members carriage of six of Entertainment Studios' high-definition cable networks in a multi-year deal, Entertainment Studios said Monday.
The NCTC is a not-for-profit association that provides its member cable operators access to programming and technology by negotiating group deals. In this deal, member companies can choose to add Entertainment Studios six networks -- Cars.TV, Comedy.TV, ES.TV, MyDestination.TV, Pets.TV and Recipe.TV -- to their services.
"The NCTC plays an important role in representing independent cable operators," said Byron Allen, Entertainment Studios' founder, chairman and CEO, in a statement. "Our goal and commitment has always been to make our HD networks the very best in their categories, and our new affiliation arrangement with NCTC is another big step in bringing our HD networks to more viewers. All content is originally produced in-house to insure the highest level of creative quality."
"NCTC is pleased to announce our new relationship with Entertainment Studios Networks and provide members access to their suite of linear HD networks," said NCTC president Rich Fickle, also in a statement. "Byron Allen's approach to the business is unique and welcomed at a time when there are many pressure points on rising programming expenses."
Besides the six networks mentioned above, ES also programs two other networks: JusticeCentral.TV and Legacy.TV.
