TLN Telelatino, Canada’s #1 ethnic specialty TV channel, today announced the Canadian launch of three new premium Italian digital TV channels in one package: Super Trio Italiano.

The Super Trio Italiano will feature three thematically-based, all-Italian digital TV channels from leading Italian pay TV operators bringing the best of Italy to Canadian audiences, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The package is set for a mid-November launch.

The new TV package will include an all-music channel featuring open-air concerts and popular videos, an all-lifestyle channel showcase of Italian arts and culture ranging from runway fashions to car designs as well as travel and cuisine, and an all-news channel. All three channels will include domestic Canadian programming provided by TLN Telelatino.

Bundled and promoted together as the Super Trio Italiano, the Italian digital channels are now being offered to all cable and satellite providers. A special showcase preview of select programs from the new Super Trio Italiano channels can now be seen on TLN.

“These new channels will complement the thousands of hours of general entertainment Italian language programming now available on TLN,” said Aldo Di Felice, TLN President. “The Super Trio Italiano will meet viewers’ demands for additional premium quality television from Italy, and is part of TLN’s overall Italian expansion strategy which will also include new Video on Demand programming, TLN’s popular Viva Cinema theatrical releases bringing first-run Italian films to the big screen, and the production of new Italian Canadian live events in 2005.”
