Danish commercial and pay-television broadcaster TV2 has announced it is to launch a new sports channel early next year.
The channel will run alongside TV2's primary channel and will offer additional coverage of various sports.
Coverage of major sporting events will remain on TV2’s main channel.
TV2 said that it had agreed domestic distribution deals for the new channel with satellite-television provider Canal Digital, cable-television operator Stofa, broadband company Waoo and pay-television operator Boxer.
The broadcaster remains in discussions with other distributors over additional deals.
