The company's Hong Kong region headquarters will be in charge of the launch and operations with content brought in from ITV's library, including shows such as Eleventh Hour and Ballroom Bootcamp. Asia Broadcast Satellite's ABS-1 regional satellite platform will be the initial carrier of the preview channel, which debuted yesterday. Following DISCOP, CABLEready inked a distribution agreement with the U.K.'s Steadfast International to sub-distribute the former's programs in the U.K., Ireland, Netherlands, Scandinavia and areas of Eastern Europe. In turn, CABLEready will distribute Steadfast's programs in the U.S. and Latin America. Those shows include the CCTV Cities action/reality show (8x60-minutes), observational series Doctors and Nurses at War (3x60-minutes) and Sky Cops (10x60-minutes) and the Earthshocks (7x60-minutes) documentaries. As part of its recent sales, Cargo Film & Releasing inked international broadcast deals for two new feature documentaries from Wicked Delicate Films.
