Aiming to broaden its reach to around 19 million homes across the UK, British vintage film channel Talking Pictures TV is moving to one of Arqiva’s main standard definition (SD) multiplexes on 30 November.

“Since we first launched two years ago we’ve built a diverse audience of millions of loyal viewers across multiple platforms, covering the length and breadth of Britain – all sharing our passion for this golden era of film,” commented Talking Pictures TV director Sarah Cronin-Stanley. “We’re delighted that, by moving multiplexes, we’ll be able to reach an even broader audience, and hope others may discover a new interest in classic films through discovering our content.”
Added Arqiva DTT director Mike Finchen: “During the length of our partnership with Talking Pictures TV, it’s been great to see the rapid growth its business has experienced; it has gone from strength to strength, and the move to our SD Mux will ensure it continues on this trajectory.”
