Top Channel joins HOME2US lineup

TIRANA, Sep 13 – Albanian private Top Channel television station moved to Home2US for broad, fully-managed US delivery. Albanians living and working in the U.S. can now stay in touch with their homeland like never before. Home2US (www.home2US.com), a leading provider of top international television and radio programming to ethnic audiences across North America and beyond, last week announced it had added three premium channels produced by Albanian Top Channel (TCH) to its rapidly expanding direct-to-home lineup.
The Albanian channel bouquet joining Home2US includes Top Channel, which features news, news analysis and entertainment. In conjunction with its move to the Home2US platform, Top Channel has introduced two new channels to the U.S. market: Top News, a 24/7 news channel, and Folk+, a channel devoted to Albanian music and movies. As part of the agreement with Top Channel, Home2US is providing a fully-managed U.S. distribution solution, including unsurpassed direct-to-home (DTH) expertise, encryption, call center support, billing, equipment provisioning, warehousing, and installation, and other end-to-end Pay-TV services.
The programming content featured on Top Channel is developed for an audience of more than 7 million Albanians living throughout Europe.
“The addition of Top Channel and its highly respected team of journalists and overall programming production quality to the Home2US lineup represent a premium expansion and a true win for Albanians living and working throughout America,” said Emrah Ozkan, president and CEO of Home2US. “Home2US enables Top Channel to reach more Albanian households across the U.S. than ever before with the most reliable distribution platform in the world now capable of delivering content over broadband, satellite, cable, mobile, and IPTV networks.
Top Channel was launched in June of 2001 and quickly expanded and distinguished its content with quality and accurate programming delivered over state-of-the-art broadcast technology.
