Seven and Foxtel Sign Retransmission Agreement

Channel 7 has finally got it finger out of its arse and signed an agreement for Foxtel to retransmit the Channel 7 signal to its cable subscribers in the major capital cities within a matter of weeks. Satellite subscriers aren’t as lucky, having to wait until 2009 for the launch of the new Optus D3 satellite before they can receive the free-to-air channel. It also means that Channel 7’s EPG information will be made available to Foxtel, giving the Pay TV operator the most comprehensive EPG on the Australian market
