International media and entertainment company Discovery Communications has announced plans to launch a new regional version of its Eurosport pan-European channel in Norway.
Dee Forbes, the head of Discovery Networks Western Europe, said that the channel would launch before the end of 2015.
“We will launch a local version of Eurosport year,” Forbes said, according to the Kampanje news website. “We feel that we have a size and strength to do this now.”
Forbes added: “We are looking at Norway as a good market to do this. We are confident of launching the channel later this year, but further details will be announced later.”
Regional versions of Eurosport are already shown in a number of countries across Europe.
