Kevin Sim, Director, Multi Channels Asia said, “Together these 2014 programming initiatives reflect the growing mainstream appeal of Outdoor Channel as a destination for sports and lifestyle programming that cannot be seen anywhere else on pay-TV. In a sea of channel sameness and multiple branded extensions, Outdoor Channel is a rare example of a channel with a truly unique and unduplicated content and channel proposition.”
