LegalTV propelled up the Sky channel listings
New Entertainment rating is reward for excellent programmes
Crown Court reunion party set to showcase channel
LegalTV, the law firm in your living room, has today announced that Sky is propelling the station up the channel listings into the ‘Entertainment’ section. This reflects the continued excellent programming produced by the young channel, which went live in February 2006 and is freely available to over 8 million homes that subscribe to Sky.
The move means that from early November onwards LegalTV will switch from its current ‘Specialist’ listing into the high profile ‘Entertainment’ listing, which features the prized 100 channel range. The exact location will be revealed by Sky in the next few weeks, and is sure to generate significant interest from both the public and media.
Commenting on the exciting move, Simon Haveland, Head of Production at LegalTV said: “We have been working hard to deliver the best programming possible. We knew that the in-house production and schedule was attracting real interest, and this recognition from Sky represents the latest phase in our rapid evolution.”
“We have always tried to be true to our core value, which is the delivery of outstanding legal programming driven by the needs and input of the viewers. Understanding the law and obtaining legal advice is a daunting prospect for most people. Our approach is to provide free legal advice to everybody without them having to leave their living room.
“Complimenting the legal support schedule is our legal-themed entertainment programming that includes the recent acquisition of the entire Crown Court drama series, which we are celebrating with a reunion event in London on the 14th November. Sky recognise the broader appeal of our programming and the move into Entertainment will allow more people to benefit from LegalTV.”
A full show schedule can be found on Sky as well as online at www.legaltv.co.uk. For more information on this release, or to receive an invite to the Crown Court Reunion event in London on November 14th, please contact David Bryon at tidyPR on 07792 985056 or email david*tidypr.co.uk
