Information TV Limited

Information TV Limited is an unusual broadcaster in that they provide regular slots for smaller would-be broadcasters on their Showcase and Information TV channels. Their broadcast licences for the channels allow public bodies, interest groups and commercial organisations to have editorial control over their own programming. This has a dual purpose of also keeping acquired SD channel slots available on the Sky EPG for potential sale to a broadcaster wanting to launch a full scale channel. As an example, their Information TV 2 channel was used to launch Quest (the Discovery owned channel) in 2009.

Information TV also operate the Russia Today channel on behalf of TV-Novosti, an autonomous organisation founded by the Russian news and information agency, RIA-Novosti. http://www.information.tv/?cid=3
