MUMBAI: Zone Vision Networks has signed an agreement with CBNSat to launch its Reality TV channel in Sri Lanka. The channel will be among those being offered in the basic digital channel package when the DTH platform launches this month. The announcement was made by Zone Vision Networks chairman and president Chris Wronski.

"South Asia has been a good market for us and we are particularly delighted to be able to add Sri Lanka to our rapidly growing list of Reality TV territories around the world. CBNSat is well positioned to become the leading DTH provider in the area so we couldnt have chosen a better distribution partner for the channel," said Wronski.

"Reality TV is the kind of channel that will really appeal to Sri Lankans. Its a channel we believe will quickly become a favorite and also help attract new viewers to the service. We are pleased to be able to offer Reality TV when CBNSat debuts this month," said CBNSat CEO Muhunthan Canagey.
